Treants

A treant is a humaoid treae, usually depicted as a nuetral defender of the forest. They originated from J.R.R Tolkein's works, but are now a staple in Medieval and Fantasy culture.

In Knock on Wood
In Knock on Wood, they are more well-natured than normally depicted. They serve as police and military for Arboria, as they're one of the only species than can fend for themselves. They are led by five elite treants:

One of Strength

One of Wisdom

One of Independence

One of Might

and One of Responsibility.

After successfully defending Arboria for decades, a nation of rock golems known as the Stone Nation rose from the ashes, claiming that Arboria was once theirs, and that they would fight for it back. This led to The Great Nation War, which resulted in the death of every Treant and golem, except for two. During the final hours, Mable the Red fought a duel with the surviving golem, resulting in both of their deaths. Mable secretly had a Treant seed, which she hid, to be found many years later. This seed was that of the game's protagonist, Woodrow.
