History TabletopGame / Humblewood

* WizardSchool: The Avium, to the east of Alderhearth, is a school of the arcane built into a magically petrified tree, and the seat of magical learning in the woods.

'''Humblewood''' is a setting for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' created by the third party company Hitpoint Press (formerly the Deck of Many), most known for making reference cards for players and Dungeon Masters, but having also made quite a few settings for the game. Humblewood foregoes the typical humanoid races of D&D in favor of allowing the players to play as FunnyAnimals straight out of old fables, and focuses on themes of classical fairytales and adventure.

In the distant world of Everden, hidden between the swamps of the Mokk Fields and the mountaintops of the Crest Mountains, there lies a great forest that thrums with the Great Rythm of Life and Death. This is a magical place, where intelligent beasts and birds take the places of the humanoids of other worlds. Two peoples live in this wood, the Birdfolk and the Humblefolk, and have done so in peace for generations, under the peaceful rule of the birdfolk who inhabit the Great Tree City of Alderheart. For centuries, the Woods have endured thanks to the industry and compassion of its people. Recently, however, this peace has been threatened by conflict and catastrophe.

* CunningLikeAFox: The vulpin are stereotyped as this. It ''can'' be true, but doesn't have to.

*** The Luma are based on doves and pidgeons.

* GreyAndGreyMorality: While the Bandit Coalition would normally be an antagonist faction, it has only recently become more than just scattered groups of bandits into an actual danger and it's that way because its new leader feels like the Alderheart Council is ignoring the humblefolk despite the worsening forest fires. Her intention is to force change through bloodshed, though the heroes can talk her down.

* GodOfFire: Gesme, patron amaranthine of the corvum, gifted fire to the folk of the Humblewood by stealing a burning branch from Ardea, staining her wings black with smoke in the process. She represents fire as a spark that both inspires and destroys, and is one of the only amaranthine able to grant her worshippers the "Forge" domain.
* MacGyvering: The Mapach's Scrougecraft racial trait lets them build simple items out of whatever resources they can scrounge from their surroundings.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Kren, patron of the vulpin and god of cunning and predation, is this to the rest of the Amaranthine. She isn't often directly worshipped, instead appearing in cautionary tales about how no creature is so wise and mighty that they cannot be taken advantage of, and sometimes forms pacts with warlocks.

* FantasticRacism: Tensions are stirring between the Humblefolk and the Birdfolk.
** The Birdfolk are seen as elitist who rule the woods without knowing or caring for the concerns of the little folk.
** The Humblefolk are seen as backwards fools who know nothing of the finer things in life and only wallow around in the muck.

** One story tells that the Crest (and possibly every other mountain) was made when a rock giant challenged Altus to a strength contest. Altus won by lifting up the earth, to which the frustrated giant demanded a rematch, rince and repeat.
