"And in the leafy gloaming I saw two eyes, two roundels of glowing green which bore upon them a wisdom I had seldom seen. But it was not the wisdom of man which dwelt there, nor elf or dwarf, for it was wild as the high mountain heathers, and passing also, alike to the drifting leaves of autumn. I closed my eyes and bowed, but when I dared to raise my gaze again he had gone, and only the great receding footfalls of his burden marked his passing."

-Michael Cervidus, Explorer


The Ent Riel'a, a mighty defender of the woodland realms of Anthos.

Of Ents and Entlings many a child learns in their young years, for though they have receded from the zenith of their race the tree-folk remain well-ingrained in the lore of many peoples (perhaps most of all in that of the Druidic Order; Druids love them well and dearly.) They are to the forest as shepherds are to the flocks of sheep at pasture, and in times long-gone ranged far and wide across the timber-lands. Great they are, and oft-times mightier of limb even than trolls, for they are formed of elder-wood and are gifted immensely by the Aspects. Despite this size and strength they have no great love for warfare (though they will employ it in defense if they must,) and are fond instead of the peace and quietude of the forested domains which they protect.

As no tree is alike to another, no Ent is identical to a second, and each grows differently. Some are tall as aspens and pines, and long in arm and shank- others are squat and round, or gnarled like the yew. Most bear a mane of leaves or moss in place of hair, but near-to none bear upon their person any sort of clothing. They are slow of deed and word but not of mind, unhurried in anger but capable of fierce wroth when riled, and woe be unto he that stirred it. They are capable of laughter and mirth but of great sorrow also, and bear the memories of many a lost forest upon their eldritch hearts.

Some might assume that the Ents are servants of the Druids, but it is not so; more accurately they are allies, for there is little an Ent will not do in order to protect their forest, and it is said that the Aspects themselves are present in their birth. Of Elder Trees they rise, to give voice to the songs of ages which have passed from living memory- as such they are wiser than mortals, and may live to be quite old, if they are not destroyed.

The Tale of the Lumberjack

Ents2.jpg

The aged lumberjack set out through the deep forests. Dawn light piercing through the orange canopies. Each step beneath his boots ringing a ‘crunch’ from the stray twigs and brush. The nature around was quiet and melodic. The faintest buzzes sounding from luminescent blue beetles that scoured branches in search of a home.

The grizzled dwarf hoisted the lumber axe atop his shoulder. His calloused hands running against the bark of some trees. Though the deeper he delved into the forest, the more curious his pace became. The trees were different. Not malformed, or misshapen. Just different. He felt eyes upon him with every move, though he did not hesitate; he was armed after all. The air around felt thick, and the light fading from above as he was met only with guidance from the glowing insects.

It wasn’t long until this lumberjack spotted a small clearing. The thick canopy still blockading the light. Though through his years he had never seen such a tree. Magnificent in stature, and ancient. Despite the moss and vines hanging from its form it showed no sign of weathering. The dwarf stepped forward, palm pressed firmly to the hardened bark as he grinned ear to ear. The potential in this. The gold he could make from this material.

Nature grew almost completely silent around the dwarf, eerily so. Though Urguan’s greed overwhelmed his senses, and instead he heaved the axe up. His shoulders straightened, and the axe pulled back on his right. He gritted his teeth as he forcefully sent his form towards the tree’s centermost area with the axe in tow. Though he was not met with what he had expected. A loud ‘ring’ echoed the deep forest. Metallic shards soaring past his widened eyes as the axe’s iron head had completely shattered. The only mark left in the tree being a small indent. A deep thrummed groan escaped the isolated tree. The soil dropping beneath it as it begun to move slothfully. The dwarf had fallen onto his rear, scrambling backwards as his large eyes lifted to the goliath of a moving tree. He witnessed the vines and leaves dropping from a face-like figure, forming a beard of sorts. The leafy canopy overhead dropping akin to a mane against its back. The rooted arms erupted from the earth as it begun to pull its form upwards. The trunk-like legs stepping out from the hole it was once in. The dawn light beamed down past its figure as the canopy was broken. And soon enough, green fire-like orbs flared to life within the sockets of the ent’s face as it stared down to the fallen dwarf.

“Greetings.. Child .. of .. Urguan.”

Creation

Ents3.jpg

The scarce ents are considered the offspring of great Elder Trees. Only to be called when the Elder Trees deem them necessary. Or as a way to vocalize the stories of time.

It is uncommon to even see an ent, let alone behold its creation. When the Elder Tree deems itself in need of a guardian, it will go into a state of similar to hibernation. A dormant state that makes even the strongest of winds create not a single sound from the elder’s leaves. As time passes, years at a time, signs of nature flourish around the site. Animals and fae creatures alike gather, drawn into the natural energies that thrive within the area. Fauna and flora alike flourish as they indulge in “... the presence of the Aspects themselves.” (Lost Druid, 1434).

When the time is finally right, and the Elder Tree has named its matured sentient successor, nature stills and lulls into absolute silence. The earth around the base of the tree falls loose as a creature of unimaginable size, strength, and wisdom is conceived, growing thereafter. This creature being the ent of the forests. Nature rejoicing at such a miraculous event.

Appearance

Ents4.jpg

Ents are enormous sentient beings made from the elderwood of their tree. They generally share distinct humanoid features, though replaced with materials of the forest. Such as a beard of grass or leaves, arms and legs woven from entwined roots and trunks, and so on. They represent nature, and share striking similarities with the trees that surround them; they can easily be mistaken for a tree themselves if one does not have a keen eye. They will often feature a glowing set of orbs where their eyes would commonly be, and faint green mist surrounding it. With each slow movement, they would creak similar to a tree swaying.

Most ents can be seen around heights of 50 to 55 ft (though there have been exceptions). The weight of an ent approximately at this height would be around 13 to 15 tons. This can be dependent on age, and the conditions of the Elder Tree that sprouted it. The size of an ent is unparalleled by any other natural creature, and makes them formidable opponents to anyone senseless enough to challenge the otherwise passive beings.

Language

Ents5.jpg

Ents are known to be quite sluggish. Their worn elderwood frame and large stature comes at a price of unwilling slothful movement. These great beings of the forests are able to speak in any language they so desire (with exceptions of ‘darker’ or more unknown tongues). However, their voices come across as slow, elongated, and deep. Described as a ‘deep, throat-like thrum’ with each and every syllable as they ponder over words for extended periods. As they are wise, they are also naive of mortal time, and tend to take a bit too long with speaking.

These guardians are able to communicate with one another and, in comparison to their normal speech, can do so with swift ease. The ents do this by rustling their leaves and offering subtle physical gestures to express their ancient language. Each Elder Tree is knowledgeable on this language, and passes it on to their guardian.

Traits

Ents6.jpg

The ents of the forest are as wise as they are immortal. Said to be the Keepers of Time, or even the Bastions of Knowledge. They stem from the eldest of druidic trees, and contain wisdom unparalleled by most. With this, they have learned that they best persist and survive through a passive nature. A life of peace, tranquility, and observing through the countless millennia they exist for.

However, when an ent’s Elder Tree, themselves, or the area that they swore to protect is put under danger they show no restraint to attempt in erasing the threat. And they do so effectively, being able to challenge most without any trouble. But it is rare to see these beings resort to any level of violence.

The ents’ personality matches that of one who has witnessed both the whimsical wonders of life, but also the atrocities committed. Despite this, they are slow to anger or even irritate. They may show sympathy, mercy, or sometimes even distaste. They will never speak concisely, and treat most situations without haste. Though each of these creatures may differ in their approaches.

Each elder ent will have a specific appearance or set of traits that define them. Such as some being conceived from a cherry tree, others wearing features like a beard, mane, or even differing in the shape of a body. They are also characterized by name, usually of ancient druidic origin, and the region of both themselves as their Elder Tree.

Ents are not common knowledge. Their existence is legend and myth to most. Their locations even moreso as a majority of their time they spend idle, existing identical to a tree. However, they cannot travel too far from the tree that conceived them due to their oath of protection; this is limited to (500 blocks), with the exception that masterful druids may influence them to leave their post temporarily. Elder Trees are extremely uncommon, and within one continent there will only exist a couple or few at any one time - with some notable exceptions. Not all Elder Trees find need to produce an ent of their own either. And so it is only within the deepest of forests or groves, to a select few fortunate individuals that they witness the ancient immortals of the forests.

Death, Rebirth, and Corruption

Ents7.jpg

As natural as ents are, this also opens them up for corruption. Anything that may affect natural flora may also afflict these creatures. Blight can wither their forms, necromancy can drain them dry, and magics that can turn the wilds wicked may also plague the ents. There have been one or two seen cases of corrupted ents; turning against druids, destroying the wilds, and becoming a machine of chaos. This torment can be healed, though with the severity of their damage they will almost always want to return to the earth instead.

Death is possible for an ent, as timeless as they are they are not invincible. Through a number of exploitable weaknesses these creatures can be brought down, most notably being dragon fire. Once the ent has been properly ‘destroyed’ their Elder Tree will wail in distraught and distress. A call heard by all connected druids across the realm.

Ents can be reborn, with their memories and all still intact. This process requires the original ent’s body to not be completely destroyed. If there are some remnants that remain, a large tree will grow in place of where the being once was. Through time, this tree will form into the ent again, and resurface from the soil.

Entlings

Ents8.jpg

Entlings are a simple minded, smaller variety of ents, created by druids themselves (and roleplayed by that creator). The tale stems from druids of the past bringing about these beings in a desperate attempt of defending a grove or otherwise. The process of an Elder Tree awakening an ent requires intense connection to the Aspects over long periods. While a druid is unable to mimic this, they can perform a smaller ritual for an entling to serve a certain purpose. These creatures exist only temporarily due to the constant energy demand, after which they will return to the earth.

To create one, a druid must connect to any mature tree. It takes a minimum of four (4) emotes for a Tier 5 druid to perform. This would be: focus, connection, communing, and growing. This ritual can be done also with gift-sharing among druids, hastening the process by reasonable amounts.

Entlings are often smaller than spriggans. Their strength can be defined as ‘... the punch of a brute orcish warrior.’ (Lost Druid, 1434). They are more exposed to any type of flame, and cannot use any druidic gifts themselves. These creatures cannot speak, and will only exist to fulfil the purpose they were summoned for (In the case of combat, once the combat concludes they would return to the earth). Once an entling is summoned, they must remain within view distance of their summoner, otherwise they will automagically return to the ground. Their existence requires a druid's focus after the initial summon. This focus does not disable the druid completely, however it will render any further druidic abilities impossible as well as complex physical actions (such as, no advanced fighting, no sprinting or intense climbing, rapid dodging, etcetera - feel free to ask on further situations!). With this mandatory constant connection, a bond is also created between the semi-sentient entling and druid. When the entling is destroyed before completing its task, the druid will feel fatigue upon their physical form until they rest.

Amendments

An entling will carry out a task attributed to it during its creation to the best of its ability, not exceeding the limited intelligence of a construct. A druid no longer requires directly focusing on their entling to control it. Even so, the entling still sustains itself off the druid’s energy. Due to the entling’s dependence on a nearby druid to give it energy, it cannot go further than 50 meters away (within shout distance so it may still be RPed by the druid player).

Because the entling acts on its own, the druid which summoned it may concentrate on other things again such as their other druidic gifts. Furthermore, due to the power involved with being able to summon something independent, it once more requires 6 emotes to summon an entling. Finally, a druid is only able to have one entling at a time even while no longer needing to directly concentrate because of the intimate connection formed between druid and entling.
