\\
===== Baumeni =====
The baumeni are a mysterious race, deeply connected to the forests they inhabit. In love with nature and beauty, they watch over and care for life within the forests. They are light-hearted creature who live long lives, largely isolated from the political turnings of the world at large

**Relations**\\
Baumeni are on good terms with all races, though some baumeni harbor a mild distrust of Humans. They have a long history of peaceful relations with the carragh, seeing them as brothers, or perhaps distant cousins. They have a fondness for the ulfar and care for them whenever their journey's take them into the forests of the world

{{ :wiki:baumeni_main_250.jpg?nolink|}}**Adventurers**\\
A baumeni adventurer is a relatively rare sight, but they are a common enough sight in cities and on highways. Young baumeni often travel the world as an unofficial rite of passage into adult-hood, that they might be well rounded and wise in their guardianship of the world's creatures. Older baumeni will usually travel at least once a century to ensure that the world's ecosystems are in balance

The carragh are a strong and determined race, having a reputation for being brash and stubborn. In truth, their communities and personalities are as diverse as stones of the earth.

They have a mossy growth on their shoulders and jaw which resembles human hair. Carragh, like the baumeni, are genderless. They usually live about 300 years but have been known to live much longer

**Relations**\\
The carragh hold a deep respect for the baumeni, with a long history of peaceful relations. Their history with humans is strained but they generally approach humans as individuals, not as a whole. Their reaction to ulfar is usually bemusement, and their history with the ulfar is free of conflict

**Adventurers**\\
Carragh that stray from the mountains are usually part of a nomadic cloch, though some do venture out on their own. Clans will often send their most charismatic as diplomats to neighboring communities.
