Voxling

Camping in deep forests and mountains is where Voxlings make their home, grouped in small communities. Wild Voxling communities are a buzz with playful laughter, arcane music, and hushed intelligent discussion. Voxlings are known for their kind hearts, protective nature, intelligent companions, and mischievous spirit.

Cursed Servants

The Voxling’s ancestors originally came from the Feywild, being able to travel between the Feywild and the material world.

Their natural magical ability and innocent nature made them targets for witches and wizards wanting to use the Voxling’s mystical souls for arcane experiments. Once the magic is drained, their captor would curse them to be voiceless and bound them to servitude. Unable to travel back to the feywild, the Voxling were forced to work for their new masters as messengers, scribes, and servants.

Those Voxling able to escape or are no longer wanted by their master wander the world. Seeking natural places to protect and to form small communities or to find kind groups in need of a mystical guardian.

Magical Souls

Hailing from their mystical Fey background, Voxlings have an affinity towards magic. Being able to pick up new tricks and magical shortcuts to impress others. Combined with their intelligence, they make excellent sorcerers and wizards.

Additionally, Voxling have a deep connection to the Fey and natural world allowing them to understand nature like many forest clerics and druids.

Despite their traumatic history, most Voxling are able to perform magic. Drawing from their unique souls and intellect, a Voxling feels closer to the Fey while performing magic.

Small and Kind

Free and Wild Voxling make their homes deep within forests and mountains using the terrain to keep their communities, or Earths, safe. Each Earth holds around 20 to 30 Voxlings. While Voxling are solitary creatures they have learned to hold their relationship with others highly. Making many companions and allies with their playful and helpful attitudes.

Voxling are nonviolent people, trying to resolve conflicts by trickery and confusion. While not looking for conflict, Voxlings will help guide lost adventurers through the thick forests and cold mountain tops of their homes.

Despite being helpful and kind, many Voxlings are mischievous and will play pranks on the unsuspecting individual while hidden.

Unique Language

Because of the curse Voxlings receive from their arcane patron they have developed an unique language of symbols and gestures. Having to spend years in silent servitude, the Voxling have developed a system of silent gestures to communicate to other Voxling, called Vox.

Despite having their voices cursed, Voxling have found ways around this obstacle when communicating with other beings. Some write in shared languages to communicate, while others use a speech from their unique souls.

Speaking from the soul is a learned skill for the Voxling, it requires training and understanding of other’s way of being and spirit. While speaking with one’s soul, a voice can be heard audibly radiating from the speaker. Words, feeling, and images can be felt and shared in the individuals around the speaker. This way of speaking is like an aura of communication. All those around the speaker can hear or see the message being communicated.

Hearing a group of Voxling play and talk in through the soul is a plethora of words; and feelings of elation, happiness, and competition. Or overhearing a Voxling discuss arcane magic to a fellow sorcerer, one would hear the explanation as well as a feeling of understanding or frustration and the imagery of symbols/glyphs imprinted on the souls of those nearby.

Voxling Adventurers

Voxling adventurers are typically escaped servants of an arcane master or young Voxling wanting to see the world outside of their Earth’s forest. These Voxlings are brave to adventure out away from safety and typically attach themselves to free-spirited groups of adventurers.
