:: Shyft ::

Shyfts are planetouched beings descended from one of the native races of the Ethereal Plane. Belonging fully to neither the Ethereal Plane nor the Material Plane, they have the ability to move back and forth between both planes. Shyfts appear as regular, unassuming humans. In fact, almost everything about them is forgettable and easy to overlook. They prefer to wear dark, simple clothing that does not draw any attention. Shyfts do not seem to mind that they are so inconspicuous and use it to their advantage. They are excellent spies, since they can listen in on conversations from the safety of the Ethereal Plane and sell any information they hear to the highest bidder. Shyfts are also
known to specialize in assassination, thievery, and other criminal pursuits.
