Changeling

Changelings are a Pactborn race, born from the corrupting Fey magic of either a Lord of the Zelwind or Shadowvale. Like Tieflings, Changelings are often viewed as untrustworthy and evil by the other races of Tevian. Despite the frequency of pacts with Shadow Lords and Archfey, Changelings are surprisingly rare.

Description
Pale skinned with solid white eyes and a slender figure, Changelings in their natural form are an uncanny sight. However, it is rare that one will ever see a Changeling’s true form. Due to their shape-shifting capacity, Changelings often take the form of either their birth race or a humanoid race of their choice. This transformation is almost entirely complete with the only discrepancies being the natural abilities of the race being absent.

Changelings are capable of reproducing with almost every humanoid race, however, each pairing will create a changeling.

History
Changelings are often the villains or mysterious figures in history books. It is not uncommon for strange circumstances of identity to be blamed on them due to their abilities. For a variety of reasons, including those before, Changelings in history are rare and dramatized or fictitious versions of the real people.

Society
Changelings blend among the other races, rarely ever encountering their own kind. Some believe that an underground society of Changelings exists yet there has never been any public evidence of its existence. What most Changelings share is a reverence for the patron deity known as the Faceless Mother, who is a member of the Elven Pantheon.
