Homebrew Arachnid Folk Species Details

Arachnid Folk are attuned to the music of nature around them and are Observant of the settings in which they are. This makes them hard targets to look for if they do not wish to be found. Even though there may be a colony of these folks hiding in the deep trees of the forest, unless they wish to be found outside folk will have a hard time finding them even if they find the webs of their nests. Much like dragons Arachnid Folk like to have hoards of their own choice within their web nests. They are naturally nocturnal and are less likely to be pleasant if woken up early or stuck within the daylight. Most spiders live in colonies with others of their brood, but tend to have their own nests separate from others of their kinds. They're solid hunters and trap makers. Many have found careers in making traps for adventurers, or web alarm systems for shop owners. Others like to share the music they hear around them and turn it in to musical tones for others to enjoy. Bewitching their prey and entertaining the masses all in one swoop. 

Arachnid Folk have names that longate the the E and I vowels with k, s, c, x, and t sounds intermixed. A smooth as the wind through a tunnel, but as a sharp as a blade against steel.
