Homebrew floran Species Details

florans are an old and mysterious race which makes it’s home in quiet forest groves or sprawling fields of flowers. these plant based humanoids serve as stewards and protectors of nature, and see it as their purpose to revitalize ecosystems and teach other races to coexist with the ecosystems around them. culturally, they are very different from other races. floran societies reject the social hierarchies that many other embrace; as such their settlements tend to focus on the collective over the individual, and decisions are made with the consent of the whole inflorescence. they place a great deal of care on their young, many of their ranks take up a role of “gardener”, which entails caring for a field of floran sprouts until fully developed. most of the rest of their people take up the role of druidic protectors of nature, and use their ancient techniques to revitalize and protect the ecosystems around them. florans have a striking form, they often take the shape of strange but beautiful humanoid figures made of twisting vines with hair made of thin plantlife and an ever blooming bouquet of multi colored flowers.
