Ethrian
For thousands of years, the masses of Aabahran have toiled endlessly to reach previously unattainable heights of power. Few have succeeded, and the rest have failed. For the most part, these individuals were thought to have disappeared, instantly vaporized in an attempt to call upon more arcane might than they could handle.
However, the emergence of an ephemeral whisper has laid proof to the stories that the men and women who had disappeared were not gone forever. With the shaking of the world by the once-dormant Volcano's eruption, the barriers between dimensions were temporarily loosened, and the seekers of power have emerged from other realms to once again traverse Aabahran's soil. These beings have changed however, and they are not as they once were. Transformed by their otherworldly experiences, the Ethrians, as they are called, are no longer corporeal beings, but rather ethereal beings. Doomed to an existence of perpetual planar shifting, these beings are solidly resigned to living out their woes, mere shades of what they once were.

Planar Shift
Ethrians of all kinds are able to shift their bodies in some capacity, based on their surroundings. Good Ethrians are capable of disappearing during the day, surrounding their incorporeal form with rays of light. Evil Ethrians can disappear at night, dissolving into the shadows. Neutral Ethrians are capable of disappearing at any time of day, but for a shorter period of time than their more pure cousins.
