~The Treebeard Clan~

 

~Current plans~

 

The clan is beginning a rebuild, both in members and in the area provided. It's looking better everyday, but anything was better than what was there previously. Everyone is welcome to have a look around and enjoy some Forest Dwarf roleplay. We are located directly left of the main Dwarven farm and are working on getting a road setup for easier access from the main road. This effort is entirely to enhance roleplay among Dwarves, Druids, Elves and in general, so feel free to get involved if you have any cool ideas or just if you need a place to stay, all are welcome. I have dubbed the area "Hefruth" which is dwarven for Forest. Saying "I'm going to the Forest Dwarf area" every time got annoying.

 

~History~

 

Spoiler

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 the clan~

Many think of Druids traditionally when thinking of Forest Dwarves, and although their bond with nature is strong and they have Druids among them, this is not as common as one might think.  Appearance wise the obsession of the outdoors and nature is said to be what gave the treebeards a darker complexion. Besides darker skin a Treebeard can be found wearing a wide variety of natural materials usually woven into warm clothes like thick woolen robes as the forest can be cold in winter, baring little sunlight among the trees. Most beards are kept short among Treebeards, while others are left untouched so to let nature run its course, this applies to hair in general. Unlike most Mountain Dwarves who would use chainmail and plate mail in combat a Treebeard uses leather or fur as they prefer a lighter feel. Weapon wise Forest Dwarves prefer the use of spears, short swords, daggers and bows as they are most efficient with these from years of hunting. It is common to see a Treebeard without shoes, as a literal connection with nature is sometimes warranted by them, also shoes can sometimes hinder the silence of a Dwed during a hunt. A Treebeard will never be caught without a weapon, learning combat via forms of hunting as a child, Treebeards are taught never to be caught off guard, keeping constant vigilance of their surroundings while among the woods.

Accents of Treebeards vary from very old typical  Mountain Dwarf accents, to quite good common accents, this is down to the recency of the Dwarf joining the Treebeards. Purebloods have been know to speak better common as a result of  living among elves for many centuries, it's not uncommon for a pureblood to speak some elven also.

Treebeards, while preaching peace and harmony will never back down from a fight, the dwarven spirit still very much burning inside them. Although it is rare for a Treebeard to start conflict without just cause. Regardless it is not wise to engage an angered Treebeard. Good pronunciation or not, during conflict it's common that the accent returns as their dwarven spirit boils.

 

Religion

 

Dwarves of Clan Treebeard worship the Brathmordakin worship Grimdugan, Belka, and any others that their members 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 converting 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.

 

~The Joining Ritual~

 

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.

(Only Dwarves can apply to be Treebeards)
