Knowledge
If the forest avengers had their way, the act of harming an animal or plant in any way would be a crime punishable by death. Many, including most of their allies, think of them as a race of fanatics, zealots, and extremists. They are usually kept in line by treants, whom the forest avengers revere almost to the point of worship, and fey creatures, which the forest avengers respect, and are respected by. Some clans of forest avengers form bonds with druids and elves they trust deeply. Forest avengers see that humanoids can live their entire lives without harming a single beast or plant, magically creating food and living in stone-carved buildings, and they often attack woodcutters and hunters, but they are especially wrathful towards creatures careless with fire and those that destroy ancient trees. When treants feel motivated to move against a particular creature or group of creatures, forest avengers often follow, unleashing nature's wrath upon their enemies, teleporting between trees and animating plants to entangle foes.
Environment: Forest.
