Forestfolk

Forestfolk, also known to some as the Arlan to some, are the defenders of the forest. They are small, and furry, with small curved horns protruding from the tops of their heads. Their hair is a light blue to gray color and sometimes even a tint of green. They are quite amiable to those who don't encroach on their land, and have so far been friendly with those from the Empire, though they are not a part of it. The Forestfolk live in tree-houses, build from vines, and the downed trees. Most are inclined to stay home and follow in their families footsteps, which limits the number of forestfolk adventurers, though some have been known to join merchant caravans passing through so they can see the world and learn a bit of what goes on outside the forests.
