The Forest Folk dwell deep in the heart of the woods scattered around the land, making a living of the nature and animals in small tribes and enclaves. They attempt to connect to nature and the forests around them, hoping to gain visions or signs from the gods. They build there homes in tress and on the undergrowth, searching for food and sustenance.

As a wanderer your Chief or Shaman has given you the duty of meeting with other tribes and collect stories or tales to spread around other tribes. This is a sacred task and if you we're to abandon this mission without consent from your Shaman or Chief, you would be banished and hunted down to be imprisoned or sacrificed to one of the gods.

The masses rarely leave the comfort of the forest, but still are interested in trading with the "civilised" races. So they send teams of highly trained Druids and that sort to the towns and cities, to collect infomation and items that may hold significance to the people. If you stayed on good terms with the tribe you can call upon these people for infomation and messages to send to others.

Instead of large tribes located in the woods, you have made a life for yourself along, hoping that the gods will have a more likely chance to contact you. You may have a small hut located next to a lake or a treehouse deep in the jungle. Wherever you dwell, you dwell alone with the exception of a few woodland animals.
If you choose the lone wolf variant, you may want the variant feature aswell to better suit your character.
