Homebrew Mothfolk Species Details

The Mothfolk are a race of moth like humanoids hailing from the feywild, ranging in size from 3-8 feet tall, with antannae and a set of moth like wings, as well as a fine silk like fuzz that covers their bodies, Mothfolk are a very diverse race. Mothfolk live in the feywild, in small secluded villages that are usually found in the treetop canopies of dense forests, these villages isolate themselves away from other beings for their own safety, as the Mothfolk species is not a large population, only a few thousand in size, therefore any possible wars would forever affect the species. Mothfolk villages run on a commune need based system for resources, where things are shared and donated to others when needed, as a result they have no concept of a standardized currency or shopping. Mothfolk are masters of their forest homes, living closely with the natural world, all their materials and foods are grown and hunted by them for the community. The rules of the village are established by a village leader who is chosen by the Mothkin people every 10 years, though if a need arises, the people can decide to replace their leader, though this rarely happens. Mothkin are generally good natured beings.
