Re’an
Though they claim no kinship to the Halflings, the Re’an are physically similar. Culturally however, they could not be more different. The Re’an are extremely territorial, some even believing they will die if they travel too far from the land of their birth. They are extremely superstitious, finding omens in everything. The Re’an have a curious relationship to the lycanthropes, providing shelter to the far-ranging shape-shifters and often caring for their young. In return, the Lycanthropes protect them fiercely. The Re’an themselves are immune to the curse. A Re’an can instantly tell a Lycanthrope from a humanoid or animal and seem to share a primal empathy with them. The Re’an prefer not to encounter outsiders, and seem to be able to meld into the forest, moving through brambles as though they were a clear path. When pressed to battle though, the Re’an are cunning, often making use of poisons.
