Planar scion is a blanket term for Material Plane humanoids (of any species) infused with the essence of another plane. Most planar scions have a distant ancestor who hails from one such plane, with a minority being the result of planar energies, magic, or divine intervention. The characteristic traits of a planar scion often go dormant after the first generation but can manifest again in future generations.[1]
Types
Types of planar scion, and the planes they are tied to, include:
- Aasimars (Heaven, Nirvana and Elysium)[1]
- Aphorites (Axis)[2]
- Duskwalkers (Boneyard)[1]
- Ganzis (Maelstrom)[3]
- Ifrits (Plane of Fire)[4]
- Oreads (Plane of Earth)[4]
- Shabtis[5]
- Sulis[6]
- Sylphs (Plane of Air)[7]
- Tieflings (Hell, Abaddon and the Abyss)[1]
- Undines (Plane of Water)[8]
Aphorites, duskwalkers and ganzis, who all share ties to monitors, are sometimes collectively called urobians.[1] Planar scions from the Elemental Planes are also called geniekin, since the vast majority of them are descended from genies.[4]
