Urobians are nephilim planar scions whose lineage or heritage was influenced by monitors from the Outer Planes.12 They are also referred to more specific names if their lineage is known (see Heritages and lineages).

Origins

Urobians are either direct descendants of monitors and mortals, or are born due to the influence of monitors or their home planes on the urobian's ancestors.3 Duskwalkers—the souls whose mortal lives ended before their time who have been reincarnated as duskwalkers due to an arrangement between psychopomps—are a notable exxception.45

Heritages and lineages

Urobian heritages and lineages include:

  • Aphorites, also called aeonbound,6 whose lineage was influenced by monitors from Axis7
  • Duskwalkers, who are created by an agreement between psychopomps of the Boneyard45
  • Ganzis, also called proteankin, whose lineage was influenced by the Maelstrom83
  • Kjosa, also called battleblooded, whose lineage was influenced by planes-roaming aesir96
