\page ### Eleionomae The Eleionomae *(meaning "Marsh-Dweller")* are naiads native to fresh-water swamps and marshlands. They live in seclusion, maintaining the ecosystem of their territory and keeping away interlopers. Rumors will tell you that they like to lure unsuspecting travelers in with illusions of loved ones before devouring them, but in actuality the Eleionomae want nothing to do with us... best to keep away if possible. *- an excerpt from Rewin's Bestiary, on her travels through the Slugwill Marsh*

The creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 1d12 poison damage. > > ***Fey Charm.*** The naiad targets one humanoid or beast that they can see within 30 feet of them. If the target can see the naiad, it must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed. The charmed creature regards the naiad as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn't under the naiad's control, it takes the naiad's requests or actions in the most favorable way it can. Each time the naiad or its allies do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until the naiad dies, is on a different plane of existence from the target, or ends the effect as a bonus action. If a target's saving throw is successful, the target is immune to the naiad's Fey Charm for the next 24 hours. The naiad can have no more than one humanoid and up to three beasts charmed at a time. \page ## Eleionomae Adventurers On rare occasion, a naiad will see fit to leave their home. To do so, they must complete a powerful ritual binding their lifeforce to a wearable object representing the body of water they call home. For an Eleionomae, that could mean a reed pipe worn as a necklace, or a bracelet woven from vines and weeds, or anything else that represents their home. So long as they wear this trinket, an Eleionomae can travel far from their water source without becoming sick or dying. ___ ### Eleionomae Traits Your Eleionomae character has a variety of natural abilities stemming from their fey blood ___ ***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Dexterity score increases by 1. ___ ***Size.*** Eleionomae tend to range around human size.
