Arborents

After the calamity that ended the first Eon, the second Eon saw a booming of life. This came in the form of lush wildernesses and, not much after, the emergence of the fey peoples. By then the arborents were already stablished and for the newcomers the plantfolk was ancient.
They represent the quintessential caretakers of nature in the world. Much and more of the deep ancient Lantartian history, going as far back as the second Eon can be traced to them, including the knowledge of other peoples’ origins. Arborents are the embodiment of life, magic and stability that gave all that came later a fighting chance in the extremes harsher worlds of past Eons.
Their civilization spread and peaked in just a few millennia after they first migrated, when Lantaris was even larger and also the only continent there was. Almost all of the lands then became a humongous forest, known in legends as Gonnorwen Liunnvél, shown in the ancient fey-elvish language, as traditional, for being short.
Then they were so numerous that their population was very young overall, averaging about just a few centuries of age. Although they were already wise, their patience was relatively lacking. Their young eagerness fueled this expansionistic drive for nature development, which resulted in fights against untold monsters and forgotten entities, reminiscent of the first Eon’s calamity, that enabled less resilient or magic dependent races to come and survive. It’s safe to state that they’ve laid the groundwork that kickstarted the first Era, in the second Eon, to occur. And thus time came to be.
Physically there’s no one “typical” arborent. They come in many forms, shapes and special abilities, existing on a much wider spectrum than extreme archetypes such as “tree people” or “grass folk”. They can grow to enormous sizes, have windy long vines, hard barks, innate spells or not.
Even tough their original world presence became severely scarcer, they remain strong and influential. Their wisdom, patience and knowledge is widely famed and mostly respected, which are reinforced by having millennia long lifespans.
