Arana
Races • DnD 5e

Culture
Arana are despised by other races of Home due to their insectoid appearance. Their ancestors secluded themselves to the mountains of Home and dedicated their time to find inner peace instead. Arana often live in squalor by other race’s standard but to them, all they need is themselves and the peace of mind.
