BAKU
Baku are stout folk with tapir-like features. They have rotund bellies,
four fingers and three toes, and a short, prehensile nose trunk that
detects when someone nearby is having a good dream or a nightmare
- sensing it as if it were a pleasant scent or a wretched stench wafting
by. They also come in all sorts of vibrant colors, and can even have
multiple colors spanning across their bodies in swirling patterns.
Baku adorn themselves in traditional jewelry, charms, and talismans
that protect them from the psychic dangers of their connection to the
Astral Plane. They actively shelter dreamers who are travelling as
disembodied souls to portions of the Astral Plane while they sleep.
The main threat these dreamers sometimes face are the Githyanki,
whose silver swords can cut through the silver cord tying the dreamer
back to their body; feeding the souls to their lich-queen,
The more experienced Baku will often be crafting omamori luck
amulets and working as fortune tellers, diviners, dream interpreters.
They pull silver strands of thought from deep within their clients’
psyche in an effort to find the reasons a dream manifests for them.
