Homebrew Beaverfolk Species Details
Beavers are blissful wanderers who live lives of calm adventure. Some refer to beavers as nomads, whilst others call them hermits. Beavers themselves call themselves wayfarers, traveling and enjoying the quaint beauty of nature. Kind-hearted, they are always willing to help any beast in need. They are trusting, but firm with those who intend ill.
Beaver are extremely rare creatures to come across. They are firmly solitary, and are often reluctant to join civil society - but when they do, they are trustworthy until death. They are homegrown artisans with a passion for the simple pleasures of life. Tireless pragmatists, they will not stop working at a problem until it is sufficiently solved.
