Fy'Ren

Eternally bound to nature, the fy’ren are a fantastical humanoid race who are constructed not of bone and flesh, but instead bark and leaf. Mysterious and ancient, the race of plant-people are the spawn of the great trees of Los-Orre and A'jikis, serving them as sentinels that ward off those who would bring harm to the forest. Because of their closeness to the wild, the fy'ren are normally close allies with both wood elves and zanic.

Physically, the fy’ren come in many different shapes and sizes, which are categorised into two groups, as fy’ren is a blanket term, which combines the archaic elven words for ‘plant’ and ‘spirit’. Male and female fy’ren differ in shape, as males (also called treants) tend to appear as humanoid creatures with bark-skin and small branches sprouting off of the crown, shoulders, and arms. Treants belong to the many families of tree, examples being: birch, oak, redwood, and so on. Unlike treants, whose bark is rough to the touch, the female fy’ren (or dryad) more closely resemble elves in that their skin, while wooden or petal, is soft to the touch, and often takes more human skin tones.

Both treant and dryad are born from the earth, often growing close to the tree that willed them into being. Once fully grown, they tend to stalk the forests surrounding their home tree, and will often not stray far from it.
