Ent - Tree Fairy Species in Evera | World Anvil

Ent - Tree Fairy

Ents are giant fairies modeled on trees, they usually live a few hundred years. Once every forest had its Ent ranger, but these guardians have been destroyed in many places because they did not tolerate change by elves or other races and reacted aggressively to any actions that disturbed the peace of the forest they guarded.

There are still living Ents in this world. In the Valley of Nehalenor, every forest has its Ent guardian, and when they get old, they plant a seed in the tribe's sanctuary, where the new guardian will learn from the age of sprouting. These young Ents learn from both their predecessors and the Narmiron priestesses, making them far more flexible in their thinking than most of their kind.

It also happens elsewhere that young Ents living near civilizations are willing to unite with other folks against a common enemy. In the northern part of Ilia Bay, in the Mavaria Empire, in its Third Era, a young Ent joined the elves and held a military rank while fighting beside the Surta elves against the Darkness that fell upon its forest.

In general, most of the ancient Ents are feral, aggressive creatures who consider any humanoid an intruder and will attack an unsuspecting traveler without a second thought if he dares to set a campfire near their territory. These giant fairies no longer plant seeds to produce a new guardian because they age, but to increase their strength with their numbers. They are strong, dangerous opponents, able to use Natural magic in addition to Fairy magic.

Ents are sensitive to fire. They are intelligent beings, speaking the Sylvan language. Some learn an elven dialect or even the Sheyarin.
