Man of the Woods?
Many have fled, and most seek shelter in the deep woods of Vallenwood. A group of protectors and Hunters has arisen in the ancient places once walked by the Fey. These keepers of the Wylde, These Folk of the Green have their own ways, and they will take back what the wars have striped of the people and the lands. Though No Folk of the Green is of noble blood it is rumored their leader (beyond the Old Man of the Forest) is a Nobleman and archer of great skill.
They follow the teaching of the Druidic path and see the Wilde as a Group to emulate, even if they do not understand the full ways of these lost Fey creatures.
The Old Man of the Woods is represented as a Bearded being of unknown age, but whose hands are aged and likened to that of an elderly man.
