Homebrew Ancient Treeborn Species Details

Ancient Treeborn are beings born from the convergence of life and primal energy. Once mortals or spirits, they have been reborn through the roots of the World Tree itself.

Their skin resembles bark, their veins pulse with verdant energy, and their presence is deeply tied to the balance of life. They do not merely live within nature—they are part of it.

Ancient Treeborn are incredibly resilient, capable of regenerating wounds and enduring damage that would fell most creatures. However, their connection to nature comes with a cost—fire disrupts their essence and weakens their defenses.

They are often calm, controlled, and introspective, constantly holding back the immense power that flows through them.
