The Gezuuni are a race of eldritch and mysterious beings, hailing from a distant and strange realm of shadow. Legends say that they were once human, but they mastered powerful runic magicks and made war across the planes with the Amberites before being defeated and banished to an enchanted prison plane. After thousands of years of desperate battling for survival, the Gezuuni managed to escape, and disappeared from the world of Lost Souls for a vast span of time. Recently, they have appeared once more, making cautious forays from their shadow-city of Obsidia. At first glance, the Gezuuni appear to be tall, broad-shouldered humans, with only their shadowy gray skins marking them as different. However, a cursory examination quickly reveals a webwork of enchanted, magickal tattoos that cover their bodies, spreading from their hearts outward to their extremities as the individual Gezuuni masters the runic arts. Their native tongue is the arcane language of Kesliri, constructed entirely from words and sigils of runic power which grant even mundane speech the ability to produce magickal effects. Though originally from human stock, the Gezuuni have long since modified their bodies to possess increased strength, speed, stamina, and even expanded mental capabilities. Their long residence in planes and places of shadow has also both infused them with shadow energies and granted them a measure of resistance to those energies; however, their lifespans remain similar to those of ordinary humans. Most Gezuuni are gruff and direct in both word and deed, and tend to see themselves as superior to other races, even elder ones such as the chaosborn -- an outlook evident in their language, which has only one word for those of non-Gezuuni lineage: 'gleph', meaning 'worker'. The obvious implication -- that Gezuuni see other races fit only for menial servitude at best -- is generally received poorly in the broader mileu of the cosmos. In order to become a Gezuuni, you must have advanced to level three hundred. Alternative, it costs 100 lux at character generation.

Vivisection into a Gezuuni does not give cultural bonuses such as rune lore and kesliri language access. You may not be able to get the prestige runic commands through vivisection either, but this is untested. The cultural benefits are specifically for darkforged Gezuuni which are accessible only by paying lux to generate one during creation.
