Felathill (Fell - Uh - thill)
Inspiration taken from /u/EmperorAiselore and his Folivoran Race
The Felathill are a reclusive race that reside in the forests of Melgia. They while away their days as caretakers of the natural world and wish for nothing but peace. They are well known and sought after for their unyielding wisdom, and for this reason are often taken in by the Kingdom of Melgia's Queen as confidants and advisors. The Felathill race is held with high esteem in Melgia, and that knowledge has been spread beyond borders.
