Aasimar Subraces of the Upper Planes

Elysium

The Blessed Fields of Elysium is the pinnacle of goodliness, without regard to the rigidity of laws or aloofness of chaos. Merely being on this tranquil plane is enough to make a person happy. The whole plane feels like a massive garden, or perhaps a painting of an idealized world. Petitioners have no homes, and few if any material possessions. Instead, they simply go where they please, and the land provides for them. Elysium is like a vision of a world where all evil and selfishness has been wiped out, and only goodness remains.

Oddly enough, this plane can be dangerous for adventurers. Elysium uses its morphic nature to put fiends and other intruders in the same place as the heroes and celestials capable of destroying them. The more powerful a visitor is, the more Elysium seems like it's become infested with evil- but it's actually just using them to take out its trash.

Elysian aasimar are very homely in their appearance, but radiate warmth and joy. Their hair is often shades of brown, and their eyes are green, hazel, or brown. Their skin is olive and tanned, glowing with the perpetual Elysium summer sun.

Wisdom is your spellcasting modifier for these spells.

Beastlands

The Wilderness of the Beastlands, shortened to Beastlands, is also known as the Happy Hunting Grounds. All natural creatures and their giant versions are found here including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and invertebrates, excluding magical creatures and monstrosities. The Beast Lords preside over the plane and many beasts come here to hunt and be hunted in turn upon their passing from the Prime Material. Most of the natural inhabitants are intelligent and capable of speech.

The Beastlands has three layers, Krigala, Brux, and Karasuthra, all heavily forested with normal and giant trees, plants, moss, and fungi. Each layer has its own time of day which never varies, and weather was distributed to create all manner of conditions for the habitats of all creatures. Krigala held the noonday sun, while Brux held two suns and was caught in perpetual dawn and dusk, and Karasuthra held the starlit night.

Beastlands aasimar are more animalistic in appearance. Sometimes, beastlands aasimar are indistinguishable physically from beastfolk races such as tabaxi, lizardfolk, and aarakocra. Their eyes are often orange, red, and green, and their hair is all natural colorations. They often have patterns resembling animal hides and plumage across their skin.

Arborea

The Olympian Glades of Arborea consist of three layers: Arvandor, Aquallor, and Mithardir. Elves and their elvish deities are a large portion of the denizens of Arborea’s arboreal layer, Arvandor, given their preference towards woodlands. The most fantastic and notable feature of this layer is Mount Olympus, where several of the elvish and other deities reside. Aquallor is a vast saltwater ocean blessed by Deep Sashelas, the deity of the sea elves, so that any creature without water breathing ability gains it while in their depths. Mithardir is the final layer, and the antithesis of the previous two layers: a pure white sand desert fraught with befuddling weather phenomena.

Arborean aasimar are varied due to the drastic differences between the triad of layers: Aquallor-originating aasimar tend to have blue, green, or even purple eyes, and some even have patches of gemlike scales to match across their pearly skin; Arvandor-originating aasimar can be hard to distinguish from wood elves, with brown or coppery hair, pointed ears, and eyes like bark or new leaves; Mithardir-originating aasimar are dark-skinned and lean, worn by sand and nomadic life, with sunbleached silver hair and eyes like sunshine and opal.

Ysgard

Ysgard, the Heroic Domains contains many fallen heroes and warrior-like creatures among the upper branches of Yggdrasil, the world tree. The people who reside here have most likely passed on through valiant death on the Prime Material, and drink, feast, and fight to their fill, and often to another death. They worry not, however, due to the plane’s revival of those slain at the next dawning (save for any fiends, constructs, undead, or those that die from natural causes).

This warrior-focused and honorbound culture among the Ysgardian aasimar have led them to be nicknamed “valkyrie” after the celestial of the same name.
