Children of Chorl

The first Scholar to be discovered was the Necromancer. His works were hard to ignore, as the undead he mistakenly raised thinking he was helping the peoples of Fort Ooshar and Sheljar broke the empire. That built a distrust for newly released magic.

This is likely why Chorl attempted to hide. Not only was his work in Transformation often done involuntarily, Chorl wanted to conquer. His goal was to fill the gaps from the Fall of Sheljar, taking over the Western Wildes via his hybrid peoples. For Chorl, in all his evils, was creating new peoples, a combination of humanity and their companions.

Some chose to be combined, these peoples frequently became his lieutenants and sergeants. Many fled. The breaking of his camps and the deaths of Chorl and his Student Anderson created an opportunity to escape.

Now, the Children of Chorl exist in mixed pockets of freedom almost always outside of the major towns and cities. They may want vengeance hating Scholars and magic; they may want freedom; they may want to be respected. They are all hybrids in the World of the Everflow.

Mechanics for the Children of Chorl

To play a Child of Chorl in the World of the Everflow select a hybrid species/race. There’s a long list of them available in DnD Beyond now, thanks to Wizards of the Coast adding the Humblewood setting.

Though none of the core species for 2014 or 2024 D&D are Children of Chorl the current list from official products includes;

Aarakocra, centaur, harengon, kenku, lizardfolk, minotaur, satyr, shifter, tabaxi, tortle, giff, hadozee, owlin, leonin, loxodon, locathah, or grung.

Players at my table can also use those from Humblewood;

Cervan, corvum, gallus, hedge, jerbeen, luma, mapach, raptor, strig or vulpin.

Then select a feat or bonded companion. Though all Children of Chorl were a goliath, halfling or human combined with a bonded companion, that doesn’t mean that they didn’t have more than one companion.

Decide what the character was before they were melded. They should generally be someone from the West. They can be someone who volunteered or not, that’s up to you.

Their background and class represent what they were before. How they present to the world now is similar to the X-Men.
