Between the two great powers, the Kingdom of Lumen and the Desertum Federation, lies the mystical forest "Saltus", inhabited by the embodiments of trees known as Treefolk (Mokujin).
In the heart of the forest stands the colossal ash tree, the Great Ash of Origin, said to be the birthplace of the first Treefolk, piercing the heavens and watching over all life. In ages past, elves lived alongside the Treefolk in this forest, but as time flowed, they departed, leaving behind only their remnants in the form of beautiful dwellings and crumbling ruins.
The homes of the Treefolk are beautiful spaces in harmony with nature, built by carving out space within the trunks of living giant trees. Inside, they are adorned with elegant decorations that seem to reflect the memories of their days spent with the elves. A pure river nourishes the forest, and in this land where abundant fruits and mushrooms sprout, they breathe in silence.

About Treefolk
They are a race born from trees that gained sentience, modeled after the elves who once lived in the forest. These are the Treefolk.
Between the collarbones of all Treefolk, their source, the "seed," lies quietly embedded. It is the proof of their life and the symbol of the promise that connects to the future.
・The Circle of Life
They do not require food. As long as they have the sunlight that showers the forest and the pure water that nourishes the earth, they can sustain their lives.
Treefolk have no concept of "death." Living for hundreds or thousands of years, a Treefolk who feels their role has ended will take the seed nestled between their collarbones with their own hands and quietly plant it in the earth.
At that moment, their body, having fulfilled its role, gently returns to the soil as particles of light, and the planted seed will, over many long years, grow into a new great tree, becoming the foundation for the birth of the next Treefolk.
・The Forest's Serenity and Rejection
While Treefolk do not interact with the outside world on their own, they are tolerant of those who wander into the forest without malice. They gently offer fruits and water to injured travelers and allow them to stay until their wounds heal.
However, their attitude changes drastically once an intruder appears who harms the forest. The warriors of the forest show no mercy to intruders.
・Unspoken Affection
While each Treefolk has individuality, there are no special bonds such as "lovers" or "spouses" among them. Due to their nature of being born from trees, they lack the very concept of conceiving and raising offspring.
Therefore, romantic feelings are an unknown sensation to them. In their long history, no Treefolk has ever harbored romantic feelings for a fellow Treefolk or another race. Or perhaps, no one has yet realized that the strange warmth budding in their chests is "love."
