Arachne are agiale hunters and powerful warriors, capeble of operating in a wide rainge of terrain but a fairly narrow climate. Their dominating presence on the battlefield is enough to intermediate the hardiest of warriors, and they're no stranger to a violent bloodbath if anything elf fails. An Arachne is the bane of unwary travelers and fledgling adventures. Others are in vain but flattering, making their names as diplomats or aristocrats. They are an ally's greatest asset and an enemy's worst nightmare.  

Arachne are half-humanoid spider hybrids, with their lower body resembling that of a large eight-legged spider, belonging to their Arachne parents, and the upper body resembling their non-Arachne parents, whether they be Human or Elf. Arachne stand on at roughly 7 feet tall on average. Their spider's half retrains the attributes of the species of spiders they belong to.

Ancient Race

Arachne are an ancient race that can live well over 700 years, similarly to that of their fey ancestors  giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply. They are more often amused than excited, and more likely to be curious than greedy. They tend to remain aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, Arachne can be focused and relentless. They are slow to make friends, but to their appearance make easily one sided enemy's. 

Like the branches of a young tree, Arachne are flexible in the face of danger. They trust in diplomacy and compromise to resolve differences before they escalate to violence. They have been known to retreat from intrusions into their woodland homes, confident that they can simply wait the invaders out. But when the need arises, Arachne reveal a stern martial side, demonstrating skill with sword, bow, and strategy. And if that fails they have their paralyzing bite an their web to keep them for later as food source. However peaceful they are carnivores and hunters by nature.

Hidden Woodland Realms of the spider people

Most Arachne dwell in small forest villages hidden among the trees and in caves. Arachne hunt game, gather food, ,and their skill and magic allow them to support themselves without the need for clearing and plowing land. They are talented artisans, crafting finely worked clothes and art objects out of their own silk. Their contact with outsiders is usually limited, though a few Arachne make a good living by trading crafted items for metals mad out of their own silk

Arachne take up adventuring out of wanderlust, and for reproducing  Since they are so long-lived, they can enjoy centuries of exploration and discovery. They like the pace of human society, which is regimented from day to day but constantly changing over decades, so they find careers that let them travel freely and set their own pace. Arachne also enjoy exercising their martial prowess or gaining greater magical power, and adventuring allows them to do so. Some might join with rebels fighting against oppression, and others might become champions of moral causes.

Arachne Names
