From publisher blurb:
Six Lineages
Atonimer. Found deep underground, the Atonimer’s eyesight rival the even the Gruggle’s. Disconcertingly this subterranean origin has led to the Atonimer’s skin being so translucent that their organs may be visible in certain lighting. This does not seem to bother them at all.
Emtomol. The Emtomol hide in plain site, blending in with the Huna and Ehvar of many societies. Their only true give away is their unique fear response, involving the opening of large moth-like vestigial wings and a second set of arms. The pattern of these wings is unique to each Emtomer and they are very private about this feature.
Gadgin. The Gadgin are unique among the Dopplyn, having traded their ability to change their appearance for the ability to summon additional limbs with a variety of different uses. As a result their natural appearances can be abrasive.
Suumerlyne. The Suumerlyne are rumored to be descended directly from the swamps and marshlands they call home. They are fiercely protective of their territory. If someone tells of the time they walked through the wrong channel and the trees themselves rose up to meet them, it’s a good chance your friend unknowingly wandered in the Suumerlyne’s territory.
Emance. The Emance are born from the elements, given form by powerful displays of elemental magic. For a time each Emance may have difficulty in controlling their physical form as they are new to such physical confinements.
Podlyn. When the Podlyns emerged from the water’s to cultivate the land they seemed unable to leave their aquatic roots behind. They kept a piece of their aquatic self inside and were able to change forms at will. For some this was a way to hold on to their homes, for others it was a curse as their two forms seemed to retain different wants, feelings and memories.
