Forlorn

[Darkfather]

Forlorn do not "sleep" but instead meditate every 24 hours. Their meditations unfortunately are the rest of the dead. Find a resting Forlorn and they are extremely vulnerable - they cannot move, react, or defend themselves in their rest states, even though they are perfectly aware of what is happening. In fact, evil undead such as Revenants and Vampires cannot release themselves from this state, they cannot even choose to delay their rests.

Forlorn though strive to maintain a link with the living world and an empathy for living beings. One advantage of this is that their rest becomes much more like a waking sleep that can be delayed, roused from, and returned to, assuming they stay isolated from the light. This requires effort and practice, and is thus a racial ability.
