Flora
Harmonious. Thoughtful. Prosperous. Flora are sentient and mobile plants.
History
The last of the Ancients to enter the Material realm. Their entrance was slow and inexorable. Lush territories bore plants of increasing complication until capable of housing a soul.
Most Flora kept to their terrain throughout antiquity, unnoticed by most of the other species until stumbled upon. Their numbers have dwindled in recent centuries. Many blame the ever-hungry expansionism of Humanity.
Culture
Flora live in harmony with nature, rather than fighting against it with brick and stone. They build no cities but cultivate the region in which they live. Remote Flora groves are sought by those seeking peace or ancient wisdom. They are a peaceful people who value contentment and harmony.
Physicality
Appearance is as varied as nature’s bounty. For each plant that grows, there is at least one flora that shares a resemblance. All Flora bare rough resemblance to Humanoids and are comprised of plant matter, rather than the flesh and blood that all other species’ share.
Common Names
Flora have descriptive names. Fronds of Amber, Green Stalks, Lush Vine.
Physical Heritage
Those whose blood has been entwined with Flora essence may have green skin or mossy hair.
