Umberwell: Azurites, Centaurs, Changelings

More races that populate Umberwell.

AZURITES
Naratet, the homeland of the scholarly azurites, was decimated in the crossfire of the War of Blue Orchids. Tall, slender, and blue-skinned, the azurites are a dispassionate people with minds made for calculation. Many find their lack of affect off-putting, but their extreme rationality has made them invaluable as artificers working for the Ministry of Wands, librarians cataloging the books of the Libris Rex, and teachers or tutors of the children of the city’s elite.

CENTAURS
Although many areas of Umberwell were not constructed with the accessibility of its four-legged citizens in mind, the rare centaurs who live in Umberwell tend to work for the Ministry of Arrowheads as park rangers and custodians of wildlife preserves.

CHANGELINGS
The origin of the identity-stealing changelings is shrouded in mystery, but the most persistent rumor holds that they are the result of a joint project between the Ministry of Wands and the Ministry of Stilettos to create the perfect spy on behalf of the city-state. As a “new” race with an inherent predilection for inhabiting and discarding personas, individual changelings often struggle with their sense of self.
