The plane-touched are those races whose parents were "normal" members of their race, but who were influenced before birth by powers outside the norm. Some of these have more particular names.

Aasimar, touched of the Light

Humans + "light"/angels.

Tieflings, devil-kin

Humans + "darkness"/devils.

Genasi, born of the elements

Humans + elemental

Tymoroesi (Eladrin)

These are fae-touched elves, born either of dalliances between elves and fae or (more commonly) of strong fae influence on an area. They are rare and only sometimes breed true. As such, they are considered novelties among the elves. They are only noticeably present in Byssia.

Waere-kin (shifters)

These are fae-touched humans, capable of assuming aspects of animals. This does not imply that their parents interbred with animals, but that they were conceived in an area of unusually strong kami influence. Most common in Zhapai Karmap and regions there-about, they are also found in the Great Rift on Soefra. A tiny group of them, born of demonic meddling, lives in Godsfall.

Kharan (duergar)

These are fae-touched dwarves, specifically touched by those fae associated with anger, vengeance, and endurance. The only significant community of them is in the Giant Spine Mountains, at the old Bolor clan-hold. They generally hate dwarves and resent them for abandoning them. Their culture is harsh and violent.

Gnomes

See Gnomes.

Jashil (firbolg)

Fae-touched [jazuu]]. Only fragmentary records remain that mention these beings. Reportedly they were more in tune with nature and the kami than their fellow jazuu (who tend to be physically rather than spiritually oriented). Many were shamans and druidic practitioners. It is believed that the largest concentration of them is on Oelfra among the ruling giant-kin.
