Wilden
3 variants
W
Misguided Guardians
Wilden's pretense on the Prime Material plane was due to their desire to defend the worlds and fight against the corrupting influence of the Far Realm that became pronounced after the Spellplague ravaged the land. Wilden, who existed in the seclusion of wild forests and took upon animalistic behaviors, were known for being extremely xenophobic, territorial, and covetous. These misguided wilden often allied with such creatures as fomorians.[1]
Plant-like Fey
Wilden were fey creatures who resembled plant-like humanoids. Their bodies were covered in bark. Their bones were hardwood, and their hair were vines and tendrils of vegetation. Each wilden housed a nature spirit within, and their appearance was dictated by that spirit, transforming them to reflect their purpose.[3]
Dangerous and Easy to Manipulate
They, as a species, knew little of how to build civilization and oftentimes were a danger to outsiders. As such, wilden were easy to manipulate. Their unfamiliarity with the Prime and naivety could lead them to be misled or used by more cunning individuals, especially those who tried to influence wilden towards evil and malice.[1] They respected power and required tests of skill and strength. Some such tests could be as significant as killing a nearby green dragon. Those who passed the ancients' tests gained the respect and friendship of the wilden tribe.[1]
