Ruvoka [Dark Sun]

Though ruvoka roam the planes freely, the Astral included, in the desert world they are tied to specific sites. They often aid druids, and it is said druids of 18th level or more can become ruvoka. They have their own tongue and use a limited telepathy with other thinking beings.

Four kinds are best known. Brajeti are large, sun-browned, hairless humans in bronze armor with bronze swords and shields. Ethilum are tall, pale blue, elflike, and white-winged, with long hair, white clothing, javelins, and whips. Kaltori are stocky, bearded, red-skinned humans in blazing hot plate armor wielding fiery red tridents. Zathosi are big, gray, and wrinkled like old men, in stone-colored robes with stone mauls.

Every ruvoka weapon counts as +2. Brajeti fight with swords, ethilum with javelins or whips, and zathosi with mauls that need Strength 21 to lift and swing properly. Kaltori tridents add 2d6 heat damage. All cast spells as 20th-level druids: brajeti have major Earth and minor Air, ethilum major Air, kaltori major Fire and minor Earth, and zathosi major Earth.

Ruvoka are deeply secretive, and almost nothing is known of their homes.

Being elemental beings, they stand outside the desert world's natural order.
