Entmen
Whether or not this race still exists is hotly debated among informed men. Some sages (Trenton, Daenis, Darby et al.) have claimed recorded contacts that are fewer than 1200 years old, which still makes for plenty of time for the last of them to have died.
Though they are generally agreed that among all the People of Erenth the Entmen were the longest lived. The best description that has come to the present is of a people with a great deal of variation as to size and shape. The shortest examples were perhaps 18" tall while fully grown, and the largest were able to reach heights of as many feet. Some were described as slender and reedy, others stout and thick.
They were a ponderously slow People, scarcely able to keep pace with even the smallest Gnome. We know that they adorned themselves always in leaves, even after the other races went to skins and fibers. They preferred wide open places and invariably made their settlements along waterways and lakes.
While they appear in few of the tales and none of the histories, it is believed that the Entmen ruled Erenth in the Ages between ages, when the world was thick with plants.
