Verdanni

The Verdanni, built their homes in great trees and ruled all of the forests of Kaernest, but when the Dragons came, the Wyrm of the Verdanni chose not to protect her people in earnest. The Sektari came and enslaved many of the Verdanni; and continue to come and gather slaves from their lands. The Verdanni have a strong connection to the trees and plants of the world. So most Verdanni lives as slaves ripped from their homes. Not affected by the pheromones and smells of the other races, but able to sense them, they have learned to read others, understand them, and manipulate them. Verdanni are similar in height to Humans, but have slighter builds. Literally beings of plant, their skin is green like leaves, although they can have colorful patches and even flowers in some cases. Verdanni "hair" is either long narrow leaves, similar to vines, or where they flower. Their eyes are uniformly black all over. Having a supernatural feel for bows and spears, Verdanni excel with these weapons. Those back in their homelands also know how to build armour from Ironwood. Their magic revolves around manipulation of others and illusions. With most Verdanni being slaves, they tend to use their skills in other ways. Free Verdanni tend to be quite wild and dangerous as they have no desire to be captured.
