Arborian
The Arborian are a humanoid race, in the early years they were mainly hunter gatherers and to avoid being hunted themselves built huts in trees hence the name Arborian (Arborea meaning tree). They never quite had their own country and migrated around until they got tired of doing so, feeling like they had seen it all except for one thing, the ocean, the Arborians decided to be brave and try their hands at boat building so they could cross the ocean. This lead them to their current land Arboria where they have settled and formed a stronghold.
