Protector of the Forest

           You have always been drawn to the natural forces of mother nature and her children. Searching to keep this in balance, you have made your self more in tune with natural magics and languages. You have been seen around your home village growing and nurturing plants, curing wounded animals, and preventing over hunting and deforestation. 

---

By being in tune with natural forces, you know more about nature and the biology of plants. You can easily identify plants, and understand their potential in potions, either as herbal or poisonous. Due to the village culture you grew up in and the many natural sounds that accompany the natural world, you can easily pick up a woodwind or drum instrument. Many languages attempt to emulate the innate language of nature. You have lived in these natural realms so much that you can understand these languages offhand.
