Planetouched (Dragonstar)

There are many planets in the Dragon Empire that have, at one time or another, been dominated by forces of the outer plane. The blood war rages eternal among the lower planes, and sometimes spills over into real space. Various messianic cults open the gates of heaven or limbo, and techno-cultures manage to embody perfect order in this world. Such incursions generally do not last very long; either the Dragon Empire intervenes to chase the outsiders away, or most life on the planet is absorbed into a higher plane, ascending or descending as the case may be.

However, these incursions do leave traces in the physical world - creatures a forever altered by their contact with the supernatural. Others aquire their supernatural traits through more regular traffic among the planes - a planar artifact or being born under unusual circumstances may be enough.

Such creatures are called Planetouched, and generally have low status within the Dragon Empire. Planar incursions are fought tooth and claw by the dragon overlords, and their living aftermath carries a stigma because of their origin. Still, because of their generally superior abilities many of them manage to prosper and advance to high positions.
