The Treebeard Clan

 

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.

 

The Ways of Clan Treebeard

The Dwarves of Clan Treebeard are known as druids by many, but this claim is only partially true. It is true that many decide to follow the path of Druidism, but the vast majority act like regular dwarves. Forest dwarves by nature farm, working in the lumber industry, or brew ales out of natural ingredients they find in the woods. This obsession with the outdoors is thought to be what changed the skin color and hair colors of the forest dwarves from their mountain and cave brethren.

Fashion wise the Treebeards and other forest dwarves grow out their beards shorter, but still maintain them in a good fashion. Many other dwarves wear armor and mail, but the Treebeards will wear furs or the clothes of a woodsman. Almost all of them carry a weapon on them as going into the woods always has many risks as wildlife and others races of the lands find the woods to be a great place to cause mischief.

The accents of the Treebeards also vary a little from other kinds of dwarven accents as they tend to change words up a little in order to shorten up words by saying things like ''lot'' inside of '' you people.'' Also in langauge and speaking to others Treebeards tend to never be hostile or speak in a violent manner. This is due to their reserved nature, but if you say enough you may be able to usually soft spoken Treebeards to snap and say something that is not very friendly.

Fighting wise they tend to prefer short swords, spears, and bows instead of heavy armor and battle axes. Because by their logic it allows them to move fast and not be targets to the enemies fire. Treebeards in no way are scared of fighting and they hate the assumption that all of them are pacifists that hide with Elves in druids groves.

 

Religion

Dwarves of Clan Treebeard worship the Brathmordakin worship Grimdugan, Belka, and any others that their memebers may prefer. While some may prefer the ways of the Druid this is looked down upon if the stop worshipping the true gods of the Brathmordakin. Still this has been a problem with the youth as the druids tend to recruit heavily from the Treebeards. Though Treebeards tend to be very religious they rarely speak about their faith to others as they see no point in converteing others to the faith as they think that they would only be joining in a futile attempt to have a better afterlife. If a member of their clan denounces the Brathmordakin and follows another faith such as Canonism then they will have to earn their way back into the clan.

 

Of Druids and Their Culture Within The Treebeards

 

Upon the arriving of a fellow Forest Bortu the following small ritual is to be done to make him a full member of the Treebeard Clan, and make him or her worthy of carrying the name Treebeard:The individual is to be standing on a dedicated spot, around it a circle is to be drawn. This can be done by either the Clan Father or a Clan Elder. A prayer is to be muttered after which the ritual is nearly complete. The mud from a Druidic totem is to be drawn upon the forehead of the Individual partaking the ritual to complete it and make him or her a valid member of the clan. This mud may be removed shortly after. Though not all Treebeards go through this process the majority of those that wish to become something in the clan have at least some kind of ties to druidism.

 

What Are We Doing Now?

 

At the moment the Clan is attempting the rebuild under the Clan father Garrion Treebeard and his cousin Evertlas Treebeard. They setup a cave base known as Khaz'Haefron and it is growing, but needs new members to swell its empty rooms and to bring commerce to the the small holds. Garrion has tried to make the clan less druid oriented and try to embrace nature in a more interesting and less druid based way. The reason for this is that many new Treebeards leave for the groves and never come back to help the Dwarven nation as a whole. But that being sad good Dwarven druids are needed and if one really wishes to be a Druid than their is no reason why they cannot be one. In fact at the moment a rather large contingent of Treebeards that are still loyal to the Grand Kingdom live in the the confines of Sutica with others who wish to help them grow their druidic power. The clan continues to grow and some day the forest dwarves may live under one banner.

MC name: Pepe_saurus

Character name:  Rhunön

Character age: 137

Appearance: Standing at 4'3 (1.31m),  Rhunön is plain by all regards. Her skin is a deep brown, only a shade darker than her perpetually messy hair that she constantly wears in a messy bun, which is skewered by a small branch. She garbs bright green robes, adorned with gold trim, and stares at you with a flat gaze through her dim, dark green eyes.

Short biography: Rhunön, whilst appearing sullen and boring, is a deeply emotional person and vividly aware of the world around her. Her fundamental belief is that all life should be cherished, but serves a purpose in the cycle of the natural world. Things are born. Things live. Things die. Unless something/someone has done something to warrant their death, any form of harm is unnecessary. When she is not tending to the farms or her animals, she can be found sitting beneath the shade of the largest tree she can find, etching patterns and symbols into the soil and dirt. 

Daughter of Jungra Treebeard ((I'm not too sure if this is a valid ancestor, but I just picked one from the family tree. Let me know if I need to change anything with my ancestry, and I'll do it ASAP.))

[TheBoiWhoLived 7]

MC name: Dcsmall

Character name: Ren

Character age: 153

Appearance: Ren would have  tanned skin and a brown beard, his beard would be dirty from small leaves and twigs stuck in between his beard and hair. His eyes are green and his hair a light red. He would have a gaunt face and would rarely smile. 

Short biography: Ren's father, Uglim,  a descendent from Aegis,  brought Ren from Kal'urguan to this land when he was only born. He light his father had tanned skin, similar to the earth they walked on in the forest. His father was a man gifted in herbs and taught Ren this skill whilst he grew up. It was a harsh life for Ren, his father was distant and harsh in teaching his son the way of the forest. His mother died in a raid leaving his father the burden of supporting his son, and he treated him as such. He was an only child which made his childhood boring and gave him little to do but to devote his time to perfect the life of a forest dwarf. He came to like the taste of mead at a young age considering his father drank so much of it in his presence. He heard of distant lands and races but never paid much attention. He had no impact on them and they had no impact on him so he thought "Why should I care?"

 

He was not a religious man, mostly coming from the fact that his father had forsaken the dwarven gods when his wife died. For him, the Brathmordakin were no more special then the distant races. His abilities in raising animals and plants quickly led him to lead a solitary life in the forest, when his father died from a disease that could not be cured he took over and continued his life as he much had for the past decades. Ren has no combat ability much as his father never taught him and the situation as never arisen to need to defend himself.  With the responsibility of his father gone, he might see himself heading to the grand cities built by the Dwarves that he heard of from his father. But that story is for another time....
