Following the Ritual of Life and the abrupt demise of Yanai, the Evergiving Earth, the Edge of the Kalydian is no more and in its place stands the Cantor's Copse. This small grove is robust with life and entirely free of the corruption plaguing the rest of the Kalydian. Encircling a freshwater spring, the Copse is wholly natural in its construction, absent the iron and stone of man-made civilisations.

With the rebirth of this long-suffering area of nature comes Elder Life's final gift: the Arborean race is now playable!

NOTE: Arborean is a fully gender-neutral race. Only the pronouns "It" or "They" may be used.

* You can either create a new character with the Arborean race, or reincarnate into it.

* Endgame race players may switch their heritage to Arborean for the next two weeks if they wish.

* The Ancient in the Cantor's Copse offers lessons in the Arborean language.

* Arboreans can become undead or vampires, and the effects this would have on their appearance are listed under the newly released HELP ARBOREAN.

* If your character's birth date predates Yanai's Song, your honors will reflect the date of the Song and note the age you were sung in at.

* Modern Arboreans outside of the Ancient in the Copse have no memory of the time or world before the Midnight Age.

Whether you choose to adhere to the pacifist history of this long forgotten people or break from tradition and partake in the art of war, HELP ARBOREAN will be the place to start!
