Forest Guardians are unnerving to behold at any time, but especially in combat. The largest of the animated trees of the Aymhelin, they march forward with a fearless abandon, lashing out with their “legs” and using the dense gnarl of their branches and trunks to smash and crush anything that stands before them. Forest Guardians are preternaturally strong, have the inherent resilience of a dense hardwood tree, and act with an efficient brutality borne of beings who may be utterly divorced from the constraints of traditional mortality. They almost never stride beyond the great forest, however, though some have been seen in large Latari armies battling against Broken Plains Orc invaders or Uthuk raiding parties. Forest Guardians grow from the much smaller and more erratic Aymhelin Scions, summoned forth by the Elven Wealdcallers.
