Lagorian (5e)

Description
The Lagorians are a short, humanoid, people with features resembling those of a white rabbit. Lagorians are short and lithe, not built for especially intensive physical activity. Typically, a Lagorian sports a full coat of white fur with floppy, sensitive ears, and a large, fluffy tail. Lagorians sport a pair of piercing red or amber eyes, which almost seem to glow in dark conditions.

History
It is said that, the Lagorians were originally normal, albeit anxious people housed within the small, densely populated nation of Inaba. They were known to be adept casters and artificers, and while they were well protected, they remained anxious in the presence of other races. The thought of coexistence with those who might be physically stronger than them was a terrifying though. As their knowledge of the arcane increased, so did their paranoia. Eventually, their paranoia reached a peak, and the once humble forest people enacted a plan to find themselves a place to finally be alone. The civilization’s greatest casters conjured a portal, and the once bustling nation suddenly disappeared from the lands. It is said that on that day the nation had left the world as most know it entirely, now residing on some other plane entirely.

Society
After their ascension from the material plane, Lagorian society focused itself on leisure activities and the studies of magic. The new Lagorian nation of Michi no Tsuki is founded on a floating landmass hidden behind the body of a deceased Astral Dreadnought. The nation is composed of several large castles within a single city wall where the denizens of the nation reside. The nation is run by a council of elders who decide on large scale issues.

Their presence within the Astral plane means that they did not require food or drink, and as such the consumption of such is done so just to enjoy the sensation of doing so. While normally unfocused on happenings of the material plane, every decade, it is traditional to send small parties to scout out the state of their ex-neighbors, specifically their magics. Lagorians see the material plane as a dreadful place, and despite the dangers of the astral plane, see continued existence outside of their new home as a fate worse than death.

Despite their idyllic lifestyles, Lagorian culture is harsh on its miscreants, and will immediately punish those who society has deemed undesirable. The culture holds three taboos, which include: intentionally causing significant bodily or mental harm to a compatriot, intentional destruction of property, and associating with outsiders without the orders of the council. Being found guilty of these taboos results in the offender being banished to the material plane with their memories of home wiped.
