This seems really interesting. I have a race in mind for this, actually. Ever heard of the viera, from Final Fantasy? It would be great if we could incorporate them in Enduwin, since they're made from the forests themselves.

As in, the Forest of Genesis was forged from the combined essence of Naduir and Trayig, creating a misty, green vista of swirling, intricate branches and giant, thick purple trees. It was out of this splendor that the viera, a race of clawed human-animal hybrids, were created. They're possibly the most in-tune with the gods out of all the races, due to being made from Naduir, who is the creator of Life itself.
