Virdae

The only race alive that can call the inhabitants of the Great Woods their ancestors. The Virdae are known by many names ranging from nymphs to elves to savages, but all of the Virdae belong to the forest.


 * Appearance:
 * Height range is similar to humans
 * Hair color: Any color of the leaves during the season of their birth
 * Skin color: Any color of wood, ranging from oaky browns to lighter tans or even greys
 * Pointed ears and round eyes
 * Faith of the Mother: Their faith lies not first in celestials or angels, but in the earth itself. They call her ‘the Mother’, an entity which to some may simply be a personification of the natural processes of the realm, but to the Virdae refers to a true and living thing.
 * The Virdae believe the Mother is the one who gave their people the forests to dwell in, and that she is the lifegiver to all living things
 * The Mother was known to have four children: The Lady of Roses [Spring], the Lord of Storms [Summer], The Lady of Dusk [Autum], and the Lord of Ice [Winter]
 * While the Faith of the Mother is focused on Her as its center, the Virdae see to her four children as the being to which they pray and primarily serve, as they provide the change of seasons and the transitions of the world
 * Some of the more devoted Virdae center their lives on one of the Mother’s children and over the years the primary faith is has been divided into four sects founded in each one
 * Though history tells of disagreements and strife between the sects, in the modern age they are a collective and work in unison within the Great Woods as most conflict is dealt with internally and without great violence
