Sidhe

The Sidhe culture is a living testament to democracy and intellectual pursuits, blending seamlessly with their reverence for the natural world. High in their treetop cities and upon the lofty rooftops, the Sidhe embrace communal decision-making as a cornerstone of their society. Instead of singular rulers, the Sidhe assemble in councils where every voice holds equal weight, fostering unity and shared responsibility. This commitment to democracy has enabled them to create harmonious communities within the Great-Wood Forest.

Their thirst for knowledge is unquenchable, leading to the accumulation of profound wisdom over generations. Ancient scrolls, imbued with insights, grace the shelves of their treehouse libraries. The Sidhe are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, delving into the intricate workings of the natural world and the mysteries of magic. Scholars from their race are held in high esteem throughout Lux’Terra for their profound understanding of the arcane.

However, a unique aspect of Sidhe culture is the small enclaves they establish in settlements of other races. These Sidhe leave their forested sanctuaries to dwell among Humes and Nezu, forming communities that thrive within the bustling cities and towns. Their presence fosters an exchange of knowledge, culture, and perspectives, enriching the tapestry of the world they embrace.

##### Personality:

Sidhe possess a generally reclusive and introspective nature, preferring the solitude and serenity of their treehouse cities and high rooftops. Their personalities are often infused with a sense of mystique, deeply influenced by their rich mythology and superstitions. Sidhe are known for their contemplative and enigmatic demeanor, fostering a deep connection with nature and a profound appreciation for the beauty and magic of the world around them. Though reserved, they can exhibit a gentle and kind-hearted disposition towards those who show respect and understanding for their traditions and beliefs.

##### Physical Description:

The Sidhe, a diminutive race of furry humanoids, embody an enchanting blend of feline grace and rabbit-like charm.  Standing at a mere two to two and a half feet, their compact frames exude an undeniable allure.  Adorned with soft, velvety fur in a variety of colors, their coats range from earthy browns and muted grays to vibrant oranges and delicate pastels.  Cat-like features dominate their countenances, with wide expressive eyes that gleam with intelligence and curiosity.  Delicate, twitching whiskers adorn their muzzles, granting them an enhanced sense of perception.  Tall rabbit-like ears perch above their head.  The Sidhe possess small vestigial bat-like wings, which flap lazily as they float.

##### Relations:

The enigmatic and reclusive Sidhe maintain an aura of mystique in their relationships with other races. They are respected for their deep connection with nature and revered for their magical abilities. Other races approach them with caution, often seeking their guidance and wisdom in matters of magic and the natural world.

##### Sidhe Lands:

Within the heart of the Great-Wood Forest, they inhabit treehouse villages, cultivating fungus, root vegetables, and honeycombs while setting traps for small critters in their farms. When Sidhe leave the forest, they often seek refuge within Hume and Nezu settlements, constructing homes on the rooftops of larger beings’ houses, fostering unity and connection.

##### Religion:

The Sidhe are known for their minimalistic approach to formalized worship. They believe that the act of living and expressing their free will is tribute enough to the natural world and their creator, Maej, the Oracle. In their secluded treehouse cities and high rooftops, the Sidhe find spirituality in the simplicity of existence. While they may not have structured rituals, Sidhe who dwell among other races often adopt their practices, respecting diverse belief systems and contributing to the harmony they cherish. This adaptability and respect for the beliefs of others are hallmarks of their enigmatic and contemplative nature.
