Forest dwelling guardians of ancient woodlands, Woodland Folks live in harmony with every rustle of leaf and whisper of wind. Their villages meld seamlessly into living trees and mossy clearings, with homes woven from saplings and liana bridges stretching between canopies. Druids, rangers, and herbalists guide communal life through seasonal rites honoring the spirits of the forest, where each songbird’s call and brook’s murmur carries ancestral lore. Egalitarian councils convene beneath moonlit glades to steward the land, while festivals of blossom and harvest celebrate the balance of growth and renewal. Their deep bond with nature grants uncanny knowledge of flora and fauna, protecting both the wild and those who call it home.
Cities and Settlements: Woodland cultures live in forested areas, with settlements often integrated into the natural landscape. Homes may be built within large trees, or woven seamlessly into groves and clearings, using natural materials. Their cities blend with nature, creating minimal disruption to the ecosystem. Social structures are typically egalitarian, with a focus on communal well-being and harmony with the land. Woodland cultures also hold seasonal festivals to honor the spirits of nature and the changing cycles of life.
