Homebrew Deerfolk Species Details

 

In the deepest reaches of the wildest forests reside the Deerfolk. This reclusive race is dedicated to the worship and protection of nature. Standing proud, Deerfolk work alongside druids to fight off forces that would threaten the peace of their woods. It is rare but, but not unheard of, to see Deerfolk traveling the wider world beyond their home. Those that do leave are typically either sent to right some wrong against nature or leave as outcasts from their society for committing some crime. (Art by Roman Gensky, Used with permission)
