Deerfolk Species in Aralla | World Anvil

Deerfolk (Fauns)

Overview

  Living in tribes that wander the plains of Calimshan and Chondath, deerfolk have a powerful connection to the wilds and druidic magic beyond any beastfolk known. Avoiding civilization, deerfolk are often enslaved in Calimshan but are often seen in Chondathan cities alongside other races. Deerfolk that still live outside of slavery or cities are isolated and traditional within their family units, living off the land where they can, although expanding industrial and slaving operations has hurt their chances significantly.   Loa's Name - Tumu, assumed to be living in Northern Chondath.
