Jannborn

Jannborn are the children of Jann who are bound to their elemental regions and reside in the highest clouds of Arcanus. Some sought out mortal relationships in their immortal life creating a unity of both. These children of great beings only live for 150 years try to use those lives to partake in all the worlds splendors becoming travelers and sometimes diplomats of great nations being a close tie to the great beings of power. They carry many similarities to their djinn parent sometimes even being born with their more stranger quirks but one is always the same, jannborns bodies are weightless and can command much of the winds to their beckon.

Once you cast feather fall or gaseous form with this trait, you can’t cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast either of those spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spell casting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (Choose when you select this species).

Ally of the Clouds

You have a special bond to clouds and more specifically a Nimbus who are formed from them. When there is clouds above you may call upon a Nimbus with a special whistle only Jannborn know, when you do so these small creatures grow to just a big enough size to allow you to ride on their back as a mount. When a Nimbus falls to 0hp you cannot summon another until next dawn back at 2 loyalty, the longer a Nimbus stays with you the more loyal they become.
