The Fianna

The Fianna, a group of fawnfolk. Fawnfolk are the descendants of satyrs, elves, humans, and orcs centuries after the Age of Enchantment. They appear as humanoid creatures except with gray/blue skin, hoof feet, elven ears, and antlers. They live in the quaint village of Waldon where they have settled into farming after years of being hunter-gatherers. They have no code of writing.

Above all, the Fianna respect the will of the forest. This belief and theology stems from The faeries that led an earlier generation of the Fianna through the Anti-magic-ridden forests into the bulwark of Waldon. The Fianna, unaware of the faeries, believed them to be spirits of the forest. The Fianna believe the forest chose where they ought to stay--within the walls of Waldon they consider to be the forest's gift. They believe that no one should venture into the darkness because of the evil that lurks inside, and any hunting parties avoid the parts of the forest tainted with Anti-magic. And so, the Fianna rarely leave the bulwark except for the odd hunter or forager party. Many generations continued this oral tale as myth, however it happened several hundred years prior to Onyx's adolescence.

The Fianna sing the songs of the forest spirits during festivals, accompanied ritualistic dancing which signal mating season. Their songs come from returning hunters, who heard the songs of the faeries in their hunting expeditions and recounted them to their kin.

Most people in Waldon wear plant fiber clothes, which is made from byproducts of the local farms. Some village elders have passed down hides that are made for the leaders and village, passed down from generations ago when the Fianna relied more on hunting. The Fianna also have a code of tattoos that correlate with different roles and families in the village.

Notable Fianna include Onyx, Onyx' Parents, Naadra, and Calder.
