====== Grayfolk ======
Lumbering figures of living gray matter from [[affril|Affril, Plane of Knowledge]].


>//Across the room, translucent gray figures walk across a [[purplestone|purplestone]] archway from another world into the [[taron_s_chambers|king’s chambers]], while gigantic brown bats circle the air behind them. The gray figures touch everything within reach, dissolving objects as if pouring acid from their fingertips.// - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)


They can absorb visions and memories into their forms by touching objects and people, dissolving them in the process. The memories of objects/lifeforms touched by Grayfolk in other [[planes|planes]] are returned to the gray sea in [[affril|Affril, Plane of Knowledge]], for [[klynoks|Klynoks]] to study.

===== Powers =====
On [[ulos|Ulos]], the Grayfolk can reduce objects to nothing by touching them, then absorb and display the memories of those things in their forms;

>//As each object melts away, visions flicker through the bodies of these strange invaders. One of them dissolves a lamp, and its body is briefly filled with a vision of [[taron|Taron]] frantically writing letters by the lamp’s light. Another creature dissolves a pillow, and its chest lights up with a vision of [[amalia|Queen Amalia]], [[taron|Taron’s]] late wife, lying awake at night.//

>//The strange invaders’ bodies are lit up with visions from the guards’ lives — scenes of their families, their pastimes, and their memories of the [[dragul_invasion|Dragul Invasion]].// - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)

The Grayfolk can assume a larger, combined form if threatened;

>>//The Grayfolk begin to pool together. A larger, unified monstrosity now presses forward with a dozen corrosive arms stretching out to encircle you. Your nerve begins to falter.// - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)

It also appears that Grayfolk must have some connection to their home plane [[affril|Affril, Plane of Knowledge]], else they are reduced to stagnant pools of muck;

>//As the rift seals upward, the creatures melt into puddles on the floor.//

>//Within their remains, you now see movement, as if the life force of the creatures persisted even though they can no longer hold their form.// - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)
