Volodni
One with the forest in many ways, the Pine Folk are a mighty race that is both feared and respected. Much like the forest itself they have no sense of mercy, and a long, long memory. While there are many points of view within their culture must like there are many types of forests, they remain a staunch defender of the forests they call home.
Vengeful Guardians of Nature
The volodni are stern defenders of the forests they consider their homelands and seek revenge on any who encroach on their territory or cut down trees. They have long memories and the relentless patience of nature. Volodni fight with grim determination and give no mercy. Some Volodni bargain with settlers for limited use of forest resources, but they are in the minority.
The Pinefolk
The Volodni are generally tall and slender but with broad shoulders and long arms. Their eyes are a solid, shiny black, and their skin is dark green like fresh pine needles. Their hair grows in long strands that have bark-like scales. Their skin is a deep olive green with a barklike texture. They wear armor made of leather and wood.
A Wide Variety of Views
They respect Druids, even those of the "warm folk", and often form alliances to prevent forest depredations. They honor Treants and are friendly with most other forest dwellers, including centaurs, satyrs, and elves, although elves generally do not approve of the Volodni tendency toward cold, ruthless killing of their perceived enemies. The more moderate Volodni acknowledge the difference between using resources and impacting the environment out of necessity (most humans and dwarves) rather than maliciousness (most orcs and goblins), but the more militant ones do not. One faction of Volodni thought they should retreat into the forest and avoid contact with outsiders, while most of the others seek to expand their territory with visions of covering the land in one vast forest.
