 While they outwardly seem to be the least fantastic of the fantastic races, they have impressive and fantastic ability to mend. They do this passively, meaning just being in their presence heals and encourages growth. It may be something they secrete, or it might be old magic, so far know one knows. Its only been documented that this does indeed happen. While they outwardly seem to be the least fantastic of the fantastic races, they have impressive and fantastic ability to mend.

 +The Farm Keepers can breed with any race of man, but no other fantastic race excepting their own.
 ===== The Forest Champions ===== ===== The Forest Champions =====
 +
 +The Forest Champions are the most fantastic of the fantastic races, and are the only ones that don't breed normally. They have a wide range of appearances, and share only two traits overall: they are small like the Stone Hands and lightweight like the Wood Masters. Each individual Forest Champion has some animal aspect mixed into their form, ranging from wings to fur.
 +
 +The peculiar, fantastic breeding method of the Forest Champion is as follows: They swallow a pearl of the forest (a special smooth river stone they  must find) and then once they pass it, it is washed clean and given to their mate (or any gender). The mate then sleeps with it against their flesh for one moon, and then it is returned to their mate and that stone is buried by the same river. Nearly a moon later, a pre-adolescent Forest Champion crawls from the earth at that place, their offspring.
 +
 +The Forest Champions are still fully sexual and can partake of any such action (usually doing so for pleasure) but can't breed that way.
 +
 +The Forest Champions may breed with most any race, but the method doesn't always work unless both mates are Forest Champions. In essence, breeding with other races is a roll of the dice for them. Since the pearls of the forest are rare and special, this is a costly price to pay - a given Forest Champion may only find three such pearls in their lifetime.

 ===== The Wise Ones ===== ===== The Wise Ones =====
  
 +To be explicit, the Wise Ones don't exactly live in the realm, they live around it and fly above it. The Wise Ones are a  race of large birds that live on galleons of their own construction which sail about the continent that makes up the realm. However, once in the realm these birds often use ancient magic to take on human form, leaving a shroud of  feathers which they later reenter and resume their normal form. In human form, the birds look very much like Valley Men except their eyes are all black with double-lids.
 +
 +The Wise Ones are not a part of the realm in a distinct sense, but they love to meddle in its affairs. They have earned their title as being particularly long lived, so they tend to be quite wise. This doesn't mean they behave that ways always, but they do have many years of accumulated experience.
 +
 +This race has little problem breeding with any other while in human form, except all Wise Ones take the male form when they use the ancient magic. The female Wise Ones simply become rather feminine men.
