Guardian

The guardians are an ancient race, some even say they were the first race made created. They appear to be trees taking a semi humanoid form; legs being a tangle of roots, arms being branches, and body being a large tree trunk. 

Guardians are known for being wise defenders of nature, slow to anger, but a force to be reckoned with when they are angered, and wielders of mystical nature magic.

If an observer were the look closely, they would see a roughly carved gem stone on each and every one of them, hanging from there neck on a cord. To the few that know of there customs (other than the guardians themselves), they would know that each guardian is given one of these necklaces at birth, an enchanted by the ruler of the guardians, an ancient immortal archdruid, who was granted immortality by Fletshi. This necklace is the source of all the guardian's mystic power.
