About this ancestry

The lantern folk have skin ranging from pale blue to stark white, and wild, bushy hair ranging from stark white to pale blue (hair and skin tone are rarely the same). They wear moustaches and sideburns with regularity, though beards are fairly uncommon. They have bulging, pupil-less eyes like their cousins, the derro, and only four fingers on each hand, though their feet have five toes. They are small and slight of build, but extremely light on their feet and quick.

This Ancestry is a port from The Blight by Richard Pett, published by Frog God Games.
