Kellium

Kellium are a humanoid, greenish-blue race with animistic features. Created before the Argosian Elf as a weaponized race, the Kellium were “Enlightened” by the now-extinct race of “Gnomes ” into the ways of nature, the gods, and shamanism. Empowered by this newfound knowledge, the oldest Kellium shamen, known as “Darth” founded a last stand, a fortress-city with the Gnomish druid “Kel” to repel the draconic attacks on their race. Dorthkell still stands today, and is a testament to the tenacity, and planning of the Kellium race.     Tragically, in recent years, due to multiple wars, many Kellium, upon learning of their “Original purpose” have shed the teachings of the Gnomes, and taken up arms, embracing their warlike biology. Known formally as “Feral Kellium”, they have gained a new, mythological name upon reaching human lands. “Orcs.” Terrified, the remaining Shakerian fled to humanoid lands, and have attempted to integrate themselves with their confused neighbors.       Kellium   +2 Cha, +2 Int, -2 Str Spell Resist, 6+Level Two knowledge skills are Class skills, +2 to each Low Light vision/60ft darkvision +1 Natural armor Linguist of Magic: Shaker gain a +1 bonus to the DC of spells they cast that have the language-dependent descriptor or that create glyphs, symbols, or other magical writings.
