Features

Decadent Trance

• Decadence and desire have corrupted their mostly pure hearted nature. City elves do not possess the natural ability to go into trance, instead they may either sleep and long rest as normal for 8 hours, or they may engage in an activity which stimulates one of their intense interests or excessive desire-seeking behaviours.

• This activity is unique for each elf, however, they are usually closely aligned with their house affiliation. When engaged in an activity this way, it works as a sort of trance and over 4 hours time, you gain the same benefit as 8 hours of sleep.

Variety (House Affiliation)

• City elves are aligned with either a House or a certain lifestyle. Either pick a House to come from, or choose a House whose traits best align with your background.

Over strings and frets the fingers pans

A chord played with fiddle bow of silver strands"

• You can speak, read and write Abyssal and Infernal. Starting at 3rd level, you can use your action to unleash the fiendish energy from the Shealynn bloodline, causing infernal fire to radiate from you, pouring out of your eyes and mouth.
• Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. During it, the infernal fire consumes in a 10-foot radius all light, causing darkness, which you can see through. You and each creature within 10 feet of you take fire damage equal to half your level (rounded up). Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

"Masters of the trade, the Ventura's network reaches beyond the depths of the Sapphire Sea, the wilds of Vildmark and the endless sands of Arahaz. A Venturan seek prosperity everywhere they go, profit in every deal and the thrill of dominating the skies and the seas.

Some see their greed as a disease, but for them, it's a virtue. It's a sign of dignity and reservation against the decadence which is defiling society."
