The verdan owe their existence to chaos. Descended and transformed from a large clan of goblins and hobgoblins, those who became the verdan were simply living their lives, doing goblinoid things. But then passing through the shadow of That-Which-Endures changed them forever. Now the newest race to call Faerfin home, the verdan do their best to find their way in an unfamiliar world.

Limited Telepathy. You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 30 feet of you.
