~*~ The Treebeard Clan ~*~

[cmack1028 549]

 

 

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. Post-exile, the Treebeards thrived in the Elven forests and became what are now known as Forest Dwarves.

 

    After taking to the woodlands of Aegis, many Treebeards chose to abandon the clan and start anew, as forest life was alien to them and was not deemed suiting. The majority of said Dwarves returned to the mountain under a new alias and were able to resume their cave-dwelling life, while others were not so lucky. The remaining Treebeards ventured forth to the magnificent Elven forests, where the clan finally settled down and built wooden huts and villages in the trees. Few Treebeards found spiritual influence by the Elves, taking to the path of Druidism.

 

    As centuries passed, the clan scattered throughout the land. Treebeard blood often mixed with that of their mountain-dwelling cousins, thus resulting in many Half-Cave and Half-Forest Dwarves emerging. Rendering it almost impossible to track down those of pure Treebeard blood, the clan nearly collapsed. Time continued to pass 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 his disappearance, 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 that Saviticus drew for him, also taking to Druidism. Few others have recently popped up and claimed their family name, only to wander off and become lost once more.

 

    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 clan members 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, always ready to lend one another a helping hand. Although they will never forget their ancient history with their mountain-dwelling cousins, the Treebeards will still show them respect, even if they fail to return it.

 

    Many Treebeards have been masterful at lumberjacking, farming, woodworking, drumming and especially brewing. Treebeards often enjoy casting out a rod on 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 and 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 remains unaffected though, ranging from three to four and a half feet tall throughout their lives.

 

    Treebeards often dress as adventurers and wear whatever they see fit or comfortable. Those that follow the path of Druidism often take to robes.

 

Religion

 

    The Treebeards have always been followers of the Brathmordakin. However, as Druidic ideals flowed into their culture throughout their many years, the Treebeards have come to follow a variant of the Brathmordakin that accepts the Druidic deities known as the Aspects under the two silver rings of Anbella.

Character name: Gyln Treebeard

 

Character age: 143

 

Appearance: A stout but healthy forest dwarf, he stands at 4'5 and has unkempt dark brown hair that reaches his goes a little beyond his shoulders, with a matching beard he keeps well-trimmed and neat. His skin is a tan-brown, quite like his other Forest brethren. He has even, deep green eyes that look quite thoughtful, matching his expression.

 

Short biography: Gyln was raised in the forests of The Fringe, a very solitary and lonely corner of the island, he there grew up in a nature-orientated shack, mostly by his mother, for his father had died when he was a lad. Gyln's mother was lost, along with his beloved home. To the fire that ensnared the land, he escaped with the others to Thales, where he lived in relative seclusion. Once again forced to leave to Athera, and now here in Vailor. Where he has resurfaced.

 

A render of the skin you intend to use (not the skin itself!): I actually, don't have one at the moment. You know why, mister Goblinguy. You know why.....<3
