Moonmages are a group of elven magic users specializing in illusions who are found among the grugach who live in the Grandwood Forest in the far eastern part of the Flanaess. They are the sages of their people and are repository of cultural knowledge, as well as trained in archery to defend the forest from those who would attack its inhabitants.
Description
The moonmages worship Sehanine Moonbow and are sages of the wild elves (grugach) of the Grandwood Forest, keeping track of both magical and historical knowledge. Most specialize in illusions, using spells such as hallucinatory terrain and massmorph to entrap raiders. Moonmages'illsuion spells in particular are particularly difficult to resist.[1]
Bond with treants
Rather than write down accumulated knowledge in books or any other sort of written record, The moonmages record what they learn by communing with partnered treants. A moonmage will partner with a specific treant, and will spend days sleeping in the branches of the treant, dreaming and passing on all of their accumulated knowledge to the treant. To level up and grow in power, the mage will again spend days sleeping in the branches of a treant, this time to gain some of the wisdom of other mages that have come before him that the treant has absorbed. When a treant comes to the end of its own life, and goes on to eternal slumber, it will tell the moonmages, and will, with their blessing, pass on all of the knowledge that it has acumulated to a younger treant to continue the tradition.
