Samsarans are an ancestry of blue-skinned humanoids native to Tian Xia1 who can remember their past reincarnations2and strive to achieve enlightenment.3 These spiritual peoples tend toward a lawful good outlook and often choose to become clerics, monks, oracles or paladins.4

History

The first samsarans originated in Zi Ha, where legends tell of a magical stream that a group of desperate people drank, curing them of their ills and turning them into a new reincarnating being, the magical waters now running through their veins.3

Religion

Tsukiyo is often considered the patron deity of samsarans, sharing their experiences of a new life. Throughout their reincarnations, samsarans will follow many different gods.5
