Pine Arborean
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.
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.
