Editing Alseid

[[File:Alseid margreve.png|right|300px]]
'''Alseids''' are a [[fey]] race from the [[Midgard]] setting by [[Kobold Press]], and basically can be summed up as "playable [[Warcraft]] [[Dryad]]s". Related to both the [[elf]] and [[centaur]] races, an alseid resembles a centaur-like melding of elf and deer, with an elf's upper body replacing the head of a large deer. They're also known as "grove nymphs", although they're much more distantly related to [[nymph]]s than they are to elves - this is actually a cheeky little reference on their creators' parts, as the name "alseid" is actually the name for a species of nymph that inhabits/looks after groves and glens in Classical Mythology. Both sexes grown antlers, which slowly form over the first century of their life, attaining a single point per 10 years. Alseids who perform great deeds on behalf of the forest are mystically imbued with extra points on their antlers - the largest number ever seen by outsiders are 13-pointers, who typically act as the leaders of alseid society.

The forest-dwelling alseids, as you can probably expect based on all this, are reclusive and highly protective of their forest homes. They don't mind people entering their forests, and have been known to help rescue lost travelers who showed respect to the forest, but they won't hesitate to kill those who harm the forest.

Alseids debuted as a monster in the Tome of Beasts, featured in the Midgard Heroes for 5th Edition as a PC race, and also became playable in the Margreve Player's Guide, alongside the [[Erina]] and [[Piney]].
