Clan Treebeard

[Sambosefus 47]

             

 

History

 

     The Treebeard Clan was originally founded by Gloin Treebeard, the last son of Urguan. The Treebeards were named shortly before their ancient exile in Aegis, where they took to the forests and became what are known now as Forest Dwarves.

 

     After their exile, the Treebeards lived peacefully in the forests of Aegis. Living as nomads, they went from place to place, finding refuge wherever they could. Some Treebeards chose to split off from the clan as forest life did not suit them, and so they returned to the mountain with a new name. Others chose to build homes and farm wherever they saw fit. Those remaining took to the magnificent Elven forests, where some took the path of Druidism. 

 

     As time went on, the clan scattered throughout the world. Treebeard blood often mixed with that of their mountain-dwelling cousins, thus resulting in many Half-Cave and Half-Forest Dwarves emerging. This made it nearly impossible to track down those remaining of the pure bloodline. Time continued to go by, and the Treebeards seemed to go with it.

 

     Slowly, more Treebeards have begun to emerge from the world. At first, there was Saviticus, Druid of Spirit. Although he struggled with his family name and down the line became an Irongut, he soon returned to his true bloodline and took up the name Treebeard once more. Before he disappeared, in the islands of Elysium and Kalos, another Treebeard had emerged. Thudrin, once thought to be an Oakheart, found records kept by Saviticus assuring he was not. Thudrin followed the path Saviticus drew for him and also took to Druidism, becoming the Druid of Oak. Few others have recently popped up and claimed their family name, only to wander off and become lost once more. Thudrin eventually met a cousin of his named Gildun, who followed the same path as Thudrin. Originally thought to be a Woodback, he eventually saw he was a Treebeard after Agmund Treebeard, their older cousin, was going through the records. Thudrin eventually wandered off, and hasn't been seen again. This left Gildun, the last of the Treebeards around, to take up the reigns of Clan Father. He now looks to go through the records and find more of his lost kin.

 

     A common misconception is that all Forest Dwarves are Treebeards. Although most Forest Dwarves will have a connection to an ancient Treebeard ancestor somewhere in their family history, the Treebeards will only acknowledge one another as part of their own clan if they are of pure Forest Dwarven blood. This means that they must directly descend from the original Treebeards and not have mixed Dwarven blood down the line.

 

Culture

                                 

 

     The Treebeards are not known for their phenomenal prowess in combat nor do they excel in being merchants. The Treebeards are simply known for trying to get the most out of life, living in luxury and making sure their mugs are always filled to the brim. The Treebeards show great respect and compassion for one another, ready to lend a helping hand in whatever the activity may be. Although they will never forget their ancient history with their mountain-dwelling cousins, they still show respect to them, even if they fail to return it.

 

     Many Treebeards have been masterful at lumberjacking, farming, woodworking and especially drinking. They enjoy casting out a rod during a hot day, or sitting by the fire at night to tell stories. Not all of them take to it, however many Treebeards have become Druids.

 

Appearance

 

     The Treebeards share the same traits as all pure-blood Forest Dwarves, simply because they are them. The Treebeards often have fairly large noses, along with either green, brown, yellow or orange eyes.

 

     The Treebeards commonly have long brown and black hair, fading to gray or white when aging. Other colors such as dirty blonde have been seen however, such as in the case of Saviticus. The Treebeards tend to keep their beards short, either by shaving or simply genetics.

 

     The skin tone of most Treebeards ranges between that of a tanned human to an earthly brown.

 

     Most Treebeards are actually quite slim compared to their mountain-dwelling cousins. The reason may range from naturally a faster metabolism, to a general increased amount of exercise. Their height is unaffected, though, still ranging from two to four feet tall throughout their lives. 

 

     Treebeards often dress as adventurers and wear whatever they see comfortable. Those that follow the Druidic path tend to take to robes.

 

 

Religion

 

     The Treebeards have always been strict followers of the Brathmordakin. However, as Druidic ideals flowed through their culture throughout the many years, the Treebeards have come to follow a variant of the Brathmordakin that accepts the Druidic deities known as the Aspects.

MC Name:Greenpelt201345

Character Name: Wilfim

Character Age: 367

Appearance: Brown eyes, light brown hair, 4'3, Often wearing comfortable, loose clothing, favoring the colors green and brown.

Short Biography: Wilfim has never been a people person, which is what most likely led him to stay away from civilization in large forests, content to wander underneath the trees' canopy. And so, with every new world, the first thing he did, was find a quiet forest, far away from anyone. Upon arrival in Athera, he did just that, living for many years wandering the very same forest, happy. However, little after the return of Iblees, he was walking toward a clearing, merrily singing a happy song. But as he entered, he saw corruption littering the clearing, the bodies of dead squirrels and birds scattering the area. Wilfim ran, he leaped over roots, splashed through rivers, until he felt he was far enough away from that clearing. It was that day, he decided to return home.

Strange name for a Treebeard, but besides that, looks good. Welcome to the clan!
