The Treebeards get their name from their great ancestor Gloin Treebeard who was said to have had a connection with nature and was a devote worshiper of Anbella unlike the rest of his family. It is said that since his brothers took their names from the great deeds or talents they possessed like Grandaxe and Irongut, Gloin thought of a name, Treebeard.

After living in the forests for a time, many Treebeards returned to the mountains finding themselves unfit to live in the forests in wooden huts and cottages. Whilst many ended up back home in the mountains, the remaining Treebeards left for the elven forests where they settled peacefully in wooden huts and villages above the surface and on top the trees. After living there for a time, some Treebeards found themselves influenced by the elves resulting in some taking to the Aspects the elven religion and even fewer becoming druids. | The Treebeards get their name from their great ancestor Gloin Treebeard who was said to have had a connection with nature and was a devote worshiper of Anbella unlike the rest of his family.

The Appearance of any Treebeard is the same as all Forest Dwarves. Ranging of heights of 4,0 - 5,0ft weighing at 150 - 250lbs. Mostly wearing clothing of green and browns, eyes shades of different variants of green, hair ranging from dark browns to dark gingers.
Religion
The Religion of the Treebeards is heavily based around The Brathmordakin, most importantly the Hearth Mother Anbella. Of times of old the Treebeards once followed the religion of the Aspects and of The Brathmordakin however, since the new reformation of the Treebeards they have only accepted the worship of The Brathmordakin.
Military
As of recent years under the new influence of Ozneat Treebeard the Treebeards have become more understanding of the conflicts around them always choosing the path of neutrality rather then causing attacks upon other clans however, this doesn't make the Treebeards weak there military strength relies on one talented tactician who leads the clan into defensive battle if needed against other clans of dwarves. The Treebeards will always remain neutral until attacked which is when they surprise most clans in there effectiveness and mindset.
Trials
The Treebeard hold no trials for there clan is one of a bloodline if a Forest Dwarf is born that child is automatically a Treebeard by birth unless he or she wishes to branch of to other Forest Dwarf clans this is most notably what happened to the Forest Dwarf clan known as Cottonwoods
Leadership
The leadership of the Treebeards is very similar then other Forest Dwarf clans where they have one to rule them all, the name for this are as followed, High Elder, Clan Father and Clan Chief all meaning the same thing to the Treebeards. The Treebeards are also governed by the Chief and the elders appointed by the chief in every matter of which is needed to discuss.
