History

In a dense forest called Drilwood, a young Trwant named Thalron grew up beneath the shade of ancient trees and whispering streams. Since childhood, Thalron demonstrated a deep connection with nature, his ability to communicate with animals and plants was remarkable. When a mysterious plague began to spread through the forest, threatening to destroy the wildlife and the very trees that were so much a part of him, Thalron felt the forest's anguish.

Determined to find a solution, he set out on a journey, seeking knowledge and allies to combat the plague. During his journey, Thalron met a diverse group of adventurers, including an experienced healer, a mysterious druid, and a skilled ranger. Together, they investigated the source of the plague and discovered that it was caused by a dark creature that was corrupting the forest.

After many battles and challenges, Thalron and his companions finally faced the corrupt creature and defeated it, restoring harmony to the Drilwood. In doing so, Thalron realized that his journey was not just about saving the forest, but also about learning the importance of working together with other peoples and races.

Thalron returned to his Rooted as a hero, sharing his experiences and learnings. His story inspired other Trwants to explore the world beyond the forest and to become defenders not only of nature, but also of peace and cooperation among all races. Thus, Thalron's legacy continued to grow, as he led his people toward a future of balance and harmony with the outside world.

Society

The Trwants' society is deeply rooted in harmony with nature, reflecting their devotion to the preservation of natural ecosystems. They live in communities called "Rooted", which are often situated in lush forested areas. Each Rooted is led by an Elder, a respected member of the community known for their wisdom and deep connection to the land. Trwants value equality and cooperation, making important decisions through a council of Elders.

The Trwant economy is based on sustainability, with farming, hunting and food gathering playing a crucial role. They are also skilled artisans, using natural materials such as wood, stone, and leaves to create tools, clothing, and shelter. As guardians of nature, they have a deep respect for all forms of life and avoid causing unnecessary harm to the natural world.

Education among the Trwants is transmitted orally and includes teachings about the history of the forest, communication with nature and the importance of maintaining ecological balance. Young Trwants learn to communicate with plants and animals from a young age, and as they mature, they become dedicated to protecting and preserving the surrounding wild areas. The Trwants also have a justice system based on restoration and reconciliation, focused on restoring balance when conflicts occur within their communities.

Although peaceful by nature, the Trwants are fierce defenders of their lands and never hesitate to protect their forests and the wildlife that inhabit them from any external threat. Whether through diplomacy or force, they are willing to do whatever is necessary to maintain the natural balance and ensure the survival of their unique and precious culture.
