Circle Druids and Fey-kin

"I don't want you to be hopeful, I want you to panic. The more we destroy nature, the more assured the destruction of our own plane of existence will be."
— Archdruid Lucan Willowrest

The inhabitants of Valewood Forest are a tightly-knit community, placing great importance on their family ties and tradition. Even invited outsiders are met with suspicion and mistrust. Politically, the Traeventahl Circle demands strict adherence to its conservation efforts, requiring other nations to agree to increasingly stringent environmental protections before agreeing to trade its rare aether-laced products. The Druids and Fey-kin that call the Valewood Forest home have lived off local resources for generations, mastering the art of coexisting with the natural world rather than attempting to dominate it through terraforming. Family units often stay together for life, with elders being highly respected and revered for their wisdom and experience. In Traeventahl Circle culture, age is equated with power, further emphasizing the value placed on immortality. Their isolationist policies have resulted in a deep-seated xenophobia. With limited access to information about the rest of Tyras, the local populace is susceptible to any state sponsored propoganda.
