Minomaid (5e Race)
<Minomaid>
Physical Description
History
Minomaids are present throughout history, although they have never been common. They are usually born by accident, and thus are usually abandoned at birth.
Society
They usually don't survive for very long, however they may survive if adopted, or if they adapt quickly. In other cases, they are raised by one or both of their parents, and learn the ways of their ancestors. Minomaids very rarely encounter others of their kind, and if they do, it will most likely be one of their siblings. Their beliefs are rather varied, with some of them even refusing to be called a Minomaid. There has never been a society with a prominent amount of them.
