In the shadows of this forest dwell creatures whose lives are inextricably linked to the botanical world. Almost all of them are hybrids: their bodies are woven from wood and living tissue, and the magic of nature grants them unique talents. These half-trees live in perfect resonance with the environment around them. Leading this remarkable folk are the Ents — ancient giants whose canopies prop up the very heavens. As the masters and protectors of these lands, they ensure that the harmony between the forest and its half-plant children remains undisturbed.
