Arboreal

Arboreals are trees that have been elevated to sentience by powerful nature forces to act as emissaries on the forest’s behalf. They are born from the oldest of trees, those that have weathered storm and wildfire, a reward for having stood the test of time. Though they speak for nature, they are eager to travel to new lands and experience environments where plant life is unable to flourish, gathering new knowledge to share with their creators.
