The Divine Mothers

The Divine Mothers are a village that appear to be completely comprised of female members but somehow still manage to sustain numbers within their village. Whether this is due to a-sexual breeding or whether this is down to male counterparts of their tribe that have not yet been witnessed within the walls of their only town, Serenity, is mere speculatory arguement. The Divine Mothers are herbalists beyond comparison and can press, combine and mix vegetation of all kinds to soothe even the most grave of wounds. Added to this is their ability to plough most land types regardless of the infertility of the land which may be a testament to their lack of need for men to impregnate them.

High magical barriers surround the town of Serenity and only after being invited by an important member of the town can a visitor pass the magical barrier. This has protected the women of Serenity for centuries and will continue to do so for millenia. As a last line of defence the Divine Mothers have the 'Arolla', a small but elite army of warrior women trained heavily in the arts of combat but barely ever forced to use their immense strength, speed and dexterity unless absolutely called for.

Physiology/Appearance
The Divine Mothers resemble men very closely being that they are 2 legged and humanoid in stature. They stand slightly shorter than human males. The main differences between the 2 races are the long, flowing green hair and small squat tail that protrudes from the bottom of their backs﻿. The 'Arolla', or warrior women of the divine mothers are athletic and muscular in appearance, standing well over 6 feet tall on average. Some members of the Arolla choose to cut their hair short or go completely bald so as to make a sacrifice to the divine nature spirit, Erga. The Arolla are usually clad in heavy plate or mail armour and carry their large weaponry around with them at all times.
