Treemen

A Treeman is the result of one of the most powerfull spirits of Athel Loren merging with a living tree to better protect its forest home. However, the decision to merge with a living tree is not one to be taken lightly, because once merged, the spirit may not leave the tree it has joined with. Only death may sever this powerfull bond.

Once merged, the will of the spirit shapes and reforms the tree, driving it to serve where an insubstansial spiritbody may not. Great arms and legs formed of branches, roots and bark crash down to crush the enemies of the forest, gigantic mouths opening up in its trunk to swallow those foolish enough to come to close to the treeman. These corpses Kingcan provide the treeman with sustenance for years to come.

These mighty beings are revered by Asrai and forest-creatures alike, and smaller spirits can usually be found living among the branches, roots and hollows in the treemans body.

Treemen fight alongside the Wood Elves to protect their forest home of Athél Loren, but like all other spirites of the forest they are weak and nearly in a state of hibernation during the month of winter.
