Crossed

The wide category known as Crossed, contracted from Crossroads people are the humans and human-adjacent things that live in the crossroads realms.<ref name=pd>The dynamics and forces that can happen within a Crossroads are too numerous to name, so it’s necessary to generalize: when Others appear, it will be a blend, with a possibility of intermixing or bleed-over, such as a withered Faerie with empty eye sockets, glowing Echo eyes within the sockets, or an Abyss-laced goblin. When humans or other visceral Others settle for the long term in a Crossroads, they are often very much subject to the influences of the adjacent realms, and will take on a unique flavor and quality depending on the outside energies. In a Crossroads, the common population may be giants, have animal heads, or be gray skinned and mute, with changes depending on the influences.
