Hexborn

The hexborn are mutated former humans, their entire race having been cursed by the Nine Kings during an event known as the Ruining. The curse manifests initially as luminescent, crystal-like mutations on the bearer's skin, but over time warps the hexborn physically and mentally, ultimately devolving them into a monstrous, insensate creature of madness. Their corpses can often be found scattered across the deep cave system which lies beneath the scorched soil of Forruin, a discomforting glow which lights the paths of the weary travelers foolish enough to traverse its depths.
