Fleuryn
The Fleuryns where born from the Mother Trees and served as stewards of the Animus. They were sentient plant beings of many colors. They could communicate with all life in the world via the Animus. They worshipped the Three Sister Moons and their philosophy was to live in harmony with the world. They saw magi-tech as an abomination that must be stopped. They warned that magi-tech was draining the world of life and would bring calamity to everyone. Many were killed during the war and when it was over, their trees either became inert, like a normal tree, or were petrified. In the current known world, they are spoken of with reverence as champions of life.
Their profession was chosen for them at birth by the Oracle of their Mother Tree, but they all possessed magical aptitude. The average lifespan of a Fleuryn is 1,000 years.
This species is believed to be extinct at this time and requires special permission to play.

- Members of this race are so in tune with the air and sky they can sense the slightest change in atmospheric conditions. They can spend a full-round action to predict the weather in an area for the next 24 hours. This prediction is always accurate, but cannot account for spells or supernatural effects that might alter the forecast.

Clerics who are members of this race with the Plant domain use their domain powers and spells at +1 caster level. This trait does not give members of this race early access to level-based powers; it only affects powers that they could already use without this trait.
- Elemental Affinity (1 RP)
- If a member of the race is a sorcerer with the elemental bloodline corresponding to the elemental plane it has ties to (i.e., air, earth, fire, or water), it treats its Charisma score as 2 points higher for all sorcerer spells and class abilities. Furthermore, a member of this race able to cast domain spells that correspond to the elemental plane the race has ties to casts its domain powers and spells at +1 caster level. This trait does not give members of this race early access to level-based powers; it only affects powers that they could already use without this trait.

Author's Notes
I'm aware that according to the Pathfinder rules, Plant races get Immunity to mind-affecting effects. However, the fiction I've been working on came about prior to coming across these rules and I don't have them with this immunity. In my story I even have them as needing sleep. So I've altered the rules here to reflect all this.
