Children of the Forest
“Be careful not to disturb the cycle of nature. The trees hear all, and the grass sing hymns to all those who wrong the forest.”
The epitome of growth, learning, and mischief, the Children of the Forest represent a perpetual cycle long undermined in nature and a primal mischief akin to youth. A Faithful to the Children could easily be mistaken as a Fae, due to the unpredictable nature of their gospel.
The Children’s Faithful are said to be creatures unnatural, taking shapes of forgotten mythical beasts that nature has long since shrouded to time. To them, it’s child's play. To their adversary, it’s the making of a fable.
