Gloamings tend to exist on the fringes of human society, except for those who are lucky enough to bear no resemblance to their drow side. Like other mixed races, they don’t quite fit in, but they are also an unwelcome reminder of drow raids. Too many take out their fear and hate of the drow on the unlucky gloamings.
A gloaming usually lacks the distinctive obsidian skin of the drow, though it may be a faded compromise between the drow and human colorations. The hair and eyes may match their drow parent, according to the chances of heredity.
Gloaming can usually be found scattered across the world in practically any region, usually living in the poorest or most isolated parts of the city, except for Maza, Egremont, Tilver and Fors. They are unusually concentrated in Melchizzan, as they have found a condoler in the dark-skinned outcast sharaak.
Traits

- Age. Gloamings mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 180 years.
- Alignment. Gloamings share the chaotic bent of their elven heritage. They are often assumed to share the evil nature of their drow parentage, and many find it easiest to follow that dark path.
- Size. Gloamings, like other half elves, are about the same size as humans, ranging from 5 to 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.
- Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
- Lowlight Vision. Thanks to your drow blood, you have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.
