Lepu

Beyond and below the roots of the Alderheart lie a complex network of tunnels and passages. Within those tunnels live the Lepu, a widely varying race of rabbit-like folk. Once a regular member of the Humblefolk, they broke off contact with much of The Wood following the treaty between humblefolk and birdfolk that led to the creation of the birdfolk council.
Born to Overcome The Lepu were a proud Humblefolk who relied on their wits and will to survive the dangers of The Wood. They are self-reliant and value ones ability to overcome obstacles. At their core the Lepu are survivors that adapt to whatever situation they might find themselves in. Now, mostly cut off from the rest of The Wood, they still believe they have everything needed to thrive.
Underground Resistance Lacking any natural defense and with no ability to climb or fly, their communities were often the hardest hit by bandits. Despite the rise in bandit raids the Lepu were confident that the Humblefolk could deal with it on their own. The other humblefolk and birdfolk saw things differently, deciding to unite under the shared cause. Feeling the interference of the birdfolk was unessecary, the Lepu refused assistance from the Perch Guard. Instead, they retreated into the burrows they used as homes and sealed them off from the surface. Over time these burrows expanded into an advanced network of underground pathways. Eventually expanding so far as to come in contact with the roots of Alderheart itself. This has allowed the Lepu to stay mostly hidden from both the bandits and the other races of Humblewood. If you go deep enough into the Roots it's said you may find a stray Lepu or two wandering the alleys at night.
Just a Memory Time has mostly left the Lepu to be forgotten by Humblewood. Once a valued member of the humblefolk they have since been relegated to stories told by the eldest generations. Even those that remember the Lepu tend not to do so fondly, having chosen to not sign the treaty. Though their influence can still be seen in depictions of Gaspard. Once an iconic Lepu, since adopted by the Jerbeen mythology. Should a Lepu be seen in the modern age of Humblewood, they are likely to be confused with incredibly large Jerbeen.
