As you all know, the Humblewood campaign setting book was recently added to DBB, bringing one of my personal favorite third party materials to my favorite website for all things D&D.
Now, if you couldn't tell by my profile picture and name, I love raccoons. And so, I present the Conclave of the Humblefolk, a guild dedicated to the love and protection of the Humblewood, everyones favorite magic forest filled with critter-folk. The following is the Introduction to the Humblewood book, to fill those in on what Humblewood is:
In the far away world of Everden, on the eastern coast of a great continent, lies a vast forest nestled between the mountains and the sea. This is the Humblewood, an ancient and magical place that hums an endless song, sung to the Great Rhythm of life and death. The Wood, as it is known to its inhabitants, is not like any other forest. The trees are old and powerful, with rare specimens that reach as tall as small mountains. Here familiar beasts grow to unusual sizes, bearing markings and patterns unique to the Wood. This region is also home to two groups of animal-like humanoid races, the birdfolk and the humblefolk. Together they share the Wood and its bountiful resources.
In the early years, the birdfolk and humblefolk lived close to each other in small villages around the forest. These isolated communities were vulnerable to an organization of brigands and marauders who called themselves the “Bandit Coalition.” To protect themselves from the Coalition, the birdfolk built fortified cities in the forest’s canopy. Joining forces with the humblefolk, the birdfolk army, known as the “Perch Guard”, drove back the bandits, bringing peace and security to the region. Over time, birdfolk culture spread, and the capital city of Alderheart became the most politically influential place in the Wood.
But the Wood has also known sorrow. Not long after the founding of Alderheart, a massive forest fire known as “The Great Calamity” burned a portion of the Wood. The origins of the fire are unknown, but it left the area permanently damaged. To this day, it is called the “Scorched Grove,” an arid field of ash that has since become home to many strange flame-infused creatures.
The Tenders, an organization of druids and mystics, dedicate themselves to healing the Scorched Grove with natural magics. Set up in conclaves around the Wood, they provide aid whenever forest fires strike. Yet, since the Grove’s burning, the Wood has known relatively few fires. Nature’s balance, though, can be disrupted by a single spark.
Recently, fires have begun to rage through the Wood with a strength and fury not seen since ages past. Forest-dwellers are again being displaced from their homes, seeking refuge in Alderheart, and perch-dwellers are doing what they can to keep themselves safe up in their canopy sanctuaries. Relations between the humblefolk and birdfolk are tense. Moreover, a newly invigorated Bandit Coalition swells in numbers. Its sights are set upon Alderheart, where those displaced by the flames seek a means of survival.
You are a citizen of the Wood, caught up in this turmoil. Or perhaps you are a storyteller from another world. Either way, the future of the Wood is yours to write. Within this book you will find all the tools you need to build your character, travel the land, and create your own Humblewood story.
Whether or not Humblewood is able to survive the flames is up to you. Go forth and adventure! Only you can restore balance to the Wood.
That said, if you wish to join the guild, you have to do a few things
Apply for a title. The titles are listed below under "Ranks of The Conclave"
Choose a species. The species are listed below under "Species of the Wood"
Ranks of the Conclave: (from most important to least important)
-Sovereign of the Woods: There are two rulers of the woods, one of the Humblefolk and the other of the Birdfolk. As the creator of the guild, I claim the title of the Sovereign of the Humblefolk. This rank is essentially mod status, so if you want to be this, you have to be ready to lead your people and keep peace in the wood, so to speak. Current Members: Raccoon_Master (Humblefolk), EJODM18604 (Birdfolk)
-Representative of the Woods - the conclave is a democracy governed by a council, one member to represent each of the 10 species of the Wood. As the creator of this guild, I will claim my place as the Council Representative of the Mapach.
-Master of the Woods: These members, of which there are only three, each govern one of the guilds in the Wood whose purpose is to provide and protect the Wood: The hunters, the gatherers, & the crafters (pretty self explanatory what each guild does)
-Heroes of the Woods: A hero of the woods is an adventurer, usually possessing magical abilities, that have sworn an oath to protect the woods using their abilities. Current members: Druid_Girl 31 (Hummingbird), Bananer28046 (Vulpin),
-Servant of the Woods: A member of one the guilds, either a hunter, a gatherer, or a crafter.
-Civilian of the Woods: Simply a humblefolk who lives in the woods.
Species of the Woods: (feel free to come up with your own Humblefolk!)
Corvum (Birdfolk): Corvum's are raven and crow-like folk, possesed of keen minds and flexible morals.
Gallus (Birdfolk): Nature loving birdfolk who resemble chickens and roosters. They value community above all else, and have no patience for deceit and rudeness.
Luma (Birdfolk): The quirky people resemble doves or pigeons. They have eccentric personalities, which draw mixed reactions from other Humblefolk
Raptor (Birdfolk): Raptors are similar to small hawks and eagles, their hunting skills unmatched in the skies.
Strig (Birdfolk): Strig are the largest, most imposing birdfolk. resembling owls, they possess strength and endurance in equal measure
Cervan (Humblefolk): Cervan's resemble deer and elk, and are the most elegant of the Humblefolk
Hedge (Humblefolk): Good-natured and friendly folk, they resemble porcupines or hedgehogs
Jerbeen (Humblefolk): The jerbeen are the smallest of all the wood, they have a strong sense of family
Mapach (Humblefolk): Raccoon folk who love crafting things and are very curious
Vulpin (Humblefolk): a fox-like species, sometimes feared due to their predatory nature. In reality, they are very misunderstood.
That's all for now! I'm pressed on time, so I'll edit this tomorrow, but until then, I hope this gets some interest
Hmm, interesting.Not many cults around, so I will join!
I will apply for Sovereign of the Birdfolk. My race will be a Raptor.
Do we, like, RP here or something?

Hi! I'm EJO. I am a silly billy who forgets to play Genshin Impact every day totally DOESN'T simp for at least three different ninja girls. Some other facts about me:
I main Milio in League of Legends, and therefore have extreme anxiety whenever my glass cannon Vayne main teammate charges at the enemy while I'm at the spawn zone.
My average accuracy in Marvel Rivals is about 19%.
If anyone says the words "Spider man lord" in my presence I will immediately lock myself in my room.

Not for now, unless you want to. I thought maybe if I got enough interest, I could start a tavern, but it's been pretty dead here so far. I'm probably going to change the title to draw more people in
Edit: Changed the title, hopefully that draws people in.
I’ve never played in the Humblewood setting- is it good?

My titles are the great Silver Dragon Lord of the Sky, Second in Command of the Dragon Cult, High Warlock of Cynophobia, High Cultist of Jeff, The Lightning Mage. I’m a ✨Chronically online teenage boy✨, and one of the most active posters on the forums (MORE THAN SALEM AND GONZALO). Always open to talk if you’d like to shoot me a PM! Please don’t hesitate to tell me I’m being a jerk or overbearing, I love helpful feedback! Love y’all!

It's great! Its a bunch of animal people protecting their home from the encroaching humans. More lore can be found in the first spoiler in my first post, which is a copy of the introduction to the humblewood book. Basically, this guild stemmed from the idea of the raccoon cult I was planning on starting, but I thought it would get more attention if it was a bunch of different critters, so I made a humblewood guild.
What rank do you wish to be and what be your species?

I think being a hummingbird is fine, though you will be a rarer species and therefore not able to attain council status, as your population is so small that they do not need a representative
