MORELIANS – Fey Myconid Kin

Morelians are an ancient race of fungal Fey that bloom through four distinct stages of life, each gaining new mystical abilities tied to sleep, dreams, memory, and control over spore-infested terrain. Peaceful yet deeply alien, they commune through spores and dream-logic.
