Arboreans are majestic treefolk who embody the very essence of primeval nature. They are deeply rooted in tradition and respect for all living things. As such, they respect the necessity of death as part of the cycle of life, but they loathe wanton destruction. They seek to maintain a harmonious existence between the sentient races and the unspoilt homelands of both flora and fauna.
There are several types of Arboreans, each of whom tend to have different outlooks on life and fill different roles in Arborean society.
Birch Arborean
Physically small and weak compared to the other Arboreans, Birch Arboreans are nonetheless renowned for their place in the woodlands. Birch Arboreans hold tremendous powers of healing and can magically rejuvenate even badly wounded creatures.
Hollow Arborean
Once a mighty and noble being, a Hollow Arborean proves that even the mighty can fall low. When an Arborean is overtaken by parasitic fungi and dies, it might rise again as a Hollow Arborean, whose necrotic branches make mockeries of other noble treefolk.
Oak Arboreans serve as the fearless sentinels that watch over vast swathes of unfettered wilderness. Tremendously strong and resilient, Oak Arboreans typically look for a peaceful resolution to conflict before resorting to violence. They will practice extreme patience and are willing to make many concessions, traits that they try to foster in any side of an argument. However, if pushed to the point of breaking, Oak Arboreans are devastatingly powerful warriors.
Pine Arborean
Though not so tough as their oaken relatives, Pine Arboreans are often viewed as equally brave and equally essential sentinels of the natural world. While Oak Arboreans are stronger, Pine Arboreans can withstand much colder weather, and so they often guard northern forests.
Willow Arborean
Generally preferring a temperate climate near a source of fresh flowing water, Willow Arboreans will always advocate for peace before violence. They are beloved by most forest animals and seek to care for all who come to them. Harming an innocent forest animal will quickly rouse a Willow Arborean’s wrath.
