This website group serves as a collective intelligence about the Daegni species as we know it to be. Thank you for taking the time to read about our idea! The species itself is set as far as what they were originally and the base concept of what they are. However, additions will be done as time goes on.
The two rules to keep in mind:
Please keep in mind the Daegni are a closed species, and players must apply to join. There is no application fee or joining fee.
Daegni is approved to be played in The Golden Tether, Blackwood, Thornmouth, Alfheim and tentatively Aelburn Kingdom!
In the mystical realm of Feywild, a race known as the Daegni dwells, exhibiting a captivating combination of traits that make them truly unique. These enigmatic beings possess a variety of physical features derived from the fusion of canine and insect characteristics, resulting in a mesmerizing and diverse appearance.
In summary, the Daegni race from Feywild is a captivating fusion of canine and insect traits, exhibiting a diverse array of physical features. Their bodies bear translucent crystals that glow with magical energy, accompanied by ethereal wings that enable them to take flight. Feylight markings adorn their fur, representing their unique magical essence. Despite their fragile skeletal structure, the Daegni possess resilient fur and skin. While they predominantly rely on their wit and mastery of magic, warrior Daegni emerges as rare exceptions, relying on physical strength and combat skills. The Daegni race epitomizes the enchanting nature of the Feywild, captivating all who encounter them with their ethereal beauty and mystical prowess.
Due to them being through an actual realm in DnD, we will be using that lore to make their realm and those creatures and other such things. You'll see references to DnD however, this does not mean you have to know DnD or even know of DnD. It is simply a reference material to have them designate from.

Q: Will all of them have antennae or will it be court specific like the horns?
A: All of them! Unless you wanna be a rarity without them!Q: In regards to approved dreams, does that mean only those dreams can be RPed in?
A:If you have another dream that you think would accept our species then I'll be glad to talk to the dream owner and see if they'll allow it. But to be safe yeah I would prefer you to stay in the realm of places that said they would accept our species.Q: Does it have to be a single pair of horns or can it be a set?
A: Either or! But we prefer that the horns do not take a hexagonal shape or a unicorn shape, they must be Cervid in shape.Q: What's the minimum size?
A: Small would be 1-4 feet, Medium 4.1-8 feet, and large 8.1-10 feet.Q: What are acceptable kinds of gems, precious stones? Are there location restrictions?
A: Any kind of gem is acceptable as long as nobody else has that one. Allowing individualization between each other and their offspring. Gems are placed in "patches" and are allowed a certain # unless the mutation of overgrowth. Patches include a symmetrical look, that is ONE patch of gems. Gem patches can be placed anywhere that including wings, tails, and antennae.Q: The antenna + horns + ears + hair feel too busy. Perhaps the High Court has horns and the Low Court has antennae?
A: You can have a rarity without antennae if you desire, but....we feel that without antennae for both, it's too many differences and it might be a split in the diversity.Q: What makes a Daegni a Daegni?
A: What makes a Daegni a Daegni is the wings, antennae, gems with Canidae features, and their nebula fur markings. The variation of how the wings, the canine, horns, antennae, and gems is vast.Q: When do Daegni reach maturity? How are they born?
A: Daegni reach maturity about 50 years. They're born like any other canine, however, around 30-45 years of age they suddenly need to "hibernate". During this phase, they sprout their wings painfully but proudly (Horns if high court). (AKA Pupate)Q: How long is the pupal stage?
A: The pupal stage is about two weeks long.Q: Can the wings get wet and can they still fly afterwards?
A: Yes. Microscopic hairs that can't be seen are around the antennae and wings of the Daegni, allowing them to survive in water and swim efficiently.Q:Can Daegni lie?
A: No, they cannot. They can tell half-truths and riddles.Q: What are the guidelines for canine attributes?
A: Any variation of the Canidae which includes wild dogs of Africa.Q: What are their physical traits, if they're part insect are they specific parts or is it unique to that person
A: Daegni's physical traits are canine, insect, and faerie quality with gems. Mutations exist of course allowing differing chances of other insect traits but it is rare.Q: Can you explain what you mean by a spell like vs natural like?
A: Doesn't need to be a spell. Aka. cantrip. That doesn't use verbal phrases or any items.Q: What happens if one Daegni from one court, gets with one from a different court? Would their babies have both?
A: It's a 50/50 of getting one or the other. However, if they're raised in one primary court, there is more likelihood of them adapting/changing over.
