Hulder

Believed by many to be a race of nature spirits who dwell in the remote regions of the far Northern European countries, the Hulder are in fact a human off-shoot species. They are very tall, with elongated forearms and shins, and their eyes are slightly larger than that of a Homo Sapien. The females are legendary for their beauty but the males are said to be rather brutish looking. 
And they have a tail, usually about three feet long or so. 
== Facts: ==
-The Hulder evolved in the frozen Norths of Europe. Legend has it that they were once a tribe of nature-worshiping pagans who were driven into the wilds by an unknown enemy. The tribe became lost for centuries, and somehow genetically diverged from humanity at a rapid pace. 
-Hulder are rare, choosing to live in small family units who dwell in the far wilds. 
-Hulder possess a primitive society centered around a basic form of nature religion. They clearly worship Gaia, and most of their females are practiced shamans who can perform nature-based Magick. 
-Hulder are wary of humans and remain separate. However, they have not lost their human-level intelligence, and so they are quite inventive and intelligent. Hulder are known to observe other people and will occasionally steal items from them which the Hulder consider useful. 
-Hulder are known to use heavy clothing to conceal their physiology, allowing them to intermingle with regular human society. 
-Hulder rarely fight, choosing instead to flee even when faced with a minor threat. 
-Because of their elongated limbs and streamlined musculature, Hulder are physically weaker than the average human, but they are significantly faster. Hulder can race through the woods at great speed, an ability which they use to leave enemy's in the dust. 
-Because they share the same territory as the Norseman Chapter, the Adepts of Viking heritage are fully aware of the Hulder. A few of them have even been Hulder themselves.
