Tudori

The Tudori are a people native to the forests of Pwenlylyn and Fron Aberaelwyd. They are characterized by their tan skin, deer-like antlers, and hooved feet as well as their taller stature. They also bear pointed ears similar to those of elves, hinting at some ancestral connection between the two peoples, though Tudori typically have more furred and animalistic ears. They tend to live in their own communities, shying away from the more populous regions of either continent and instead living in villages and towns of their own within the dense woodlands found in both continents. They are a spiritualistic people, believing in a natural druidic faith surrounding the existence of natural spirits and primordial beings. They believe these beings, which they say roam the most secluded regions of the mortal plane, to be the spiritual embodiments of nature and worship them due to their belief that humanity and nature are inherently reliant on each other. Many Tudori live hunter-gatherer lifestyles, speak their own language, and rarely venture out of their communities, with the only Tudori that visit larger, mostly-human settlements, from their own lands, being diplomats and cultural leaders. There are many "urbanized" Tudori, especially in Brontbran and Thecedor, who do live among wider society, though this population is thought to be an immense minority when compared to the assumed number of Tudori in Halth'aire.
