Thranin
DESCRIPTION:  Thranin appear as elves mostly, however, their ears are longer due to the stresses that were placed on the bodies of their ancestors when they were transformed. These stresses also resulted in the ripping apart of the elven skeletal structure, which was repaired...by adding an extra joint on each limb, giving them an effective dexterity of 23.

COMBAT/TACTICS:  Thranin never wear armor, as it hinders their movements. They can hide in shadows at 75% and always move silently. Some use weapons, though most prefer to fight with their bare hands and utilize their speed and agility to attack a total of four times in each round. Some have spellcaster abilities, and are handled as though they were grunge elves.

HABITAT/SOCIETY:  Thranin have no society of their own, usually, each moves on after reaching maturity to hunt the elf that it is naturally psionically bonded to. In order to achieve a psionic peace, the Thranin must spend their lives in the pursuit of their bonded elf. They will do anything to slay their bonded elf, but they tend to not know what to do with themselves afterwards, so some can be seen in low paying jobs requiring manual labor. Humans hate them for this, although a Thranin will only kill an elf by choice.

ECOLOGY:  Thranin are not a natural race. They were originally created by a mad wizard who hated elves with a vengeance. The rites performed were complex, and required several spells lost, along with a series of polymorphs.
