Pantheon LARP

The Fallen were a race born out of grief. As the daughters of Isabella began reproducing offspring of their own, Fate, to keep the balance between life and death equal, would sometimes have to take the unborn children from their mothers. The grief this wrought amongst the mortals caused Isabella great pain. Noticing this pain, Fate did what he could to offer a compromise to his beloved, and gave the unborn children another chance by creating the Fallen.

 

Physical Description

The Fallen are pale humanoid beings with silver or white hair and black designs surrounding their eyes. The markings around their eyes vary to the individual, and can be simple or incredibly ornate.  Their build and stature vary as greatly as it does in their human cousins.

 

Culture

Fallen have no culture of their own, nor do they have any known lands.  They often gather around Trees of Fate in small short-lived communities and sometimes in the catacombs beneath cities and cemeteries.  Often born in secret and abandoned at orphanages or left to die on the outskirts of town, they tend to live solitary lives as exiles and outcasts. Living as such exiles, the Fallen often tend to be secretive and distrustful of the other mortal races.  Individuals acquire the cultural beliefs and teachings of the regions in which they grew up, and adopt additional philosophies over the course of their complex lives, while Fate is always revered and sometimes worshipped among these small circles.
