Despite the multitude of goodforces in the world, few are entirely on the side of nature;the killoren are the fey that nature can count on to fight forit should the need arise.• A killoren traveler has been asking pointed questionsabout a town’s recent growth. As farmers stretch theirfields ever closer to an ancient forest, many in the townare wondering if there will be some sort of conflict withthe denizens of the forest. In truth, the killoren is newto the area and seeks only to protect the town from ayoung green dragon that has been hunting the forest’sedges recently. Seeing the dragon as a natural predator,however, she does not wish to attract dragonslayers orother powerful heroes to the area before the dragonmoves on.• Something large and powerful has been seen in theheart of an ancient woodland. Even the killoren, themost forthcoming denizens of the forest, do not knowwhat it represents or what it is. Legends tell of a powerfulavatar of the forest’s might, but no one knows why itmight have been awakened or whether it might ventureout of the forest.VITAL STATISTICSThis section includes tables for determining age, height, andweight for races of the wild.HEIGHT, WEIGHT, AND AGEThe following tables can help you determine your character’sstarting height, weight, and age.
