Description
Far into the forest, where trees block out the sun lives a race of owl like fey creatures called the visok owl. These creatures stand around 9 - 12 feet tall and look like bipedal owls.
Wanderers of the Forest
Visok owls don't live in one spot their whole lives, they are constantly moving and resettling throughout the forest. The reason they do this is unknown, but it is suspected that they are looking for a lost artifact of their gods. Once a visok owl community finds an area to settle, they begin construction on large treetop buildings with no break until their finished. Only a few travelers have ever seen this houses because the visok owls are very territorial, even in spots that they used to live in fear that someone else might take it.
Rebirth
After a visok owl dies, its body is brought to a special ritual building where it is then revived. It is said that this ritual is close to the ritual done by wizards who want to become a lich, but it is uncertain. If a visok owl's body isn't found in 10 days, it becomes a group of trees, extending the forest even more.
