In the Land of the Living Trees there live the Aiuo, the Woodsfolk. Upon their backs they carry the key to their immortality, the heavy burden of eternity. From the branches they are born, and in death they will take root, becoming part of the single largest living thing in the whole of Tumiun; the Long Forest. And in the creaking of their branches their song continues, guiding and guarding their children who still wander, watching over the ancient woods for as long as fate allows.
