__NOTOC__
==Overview==
[[File:TsolaaMonkColour.jpg‎|thumb|250px|right|A tsol'aa monk]]
Graceful and willowy, the forest-dwelling Tsol'aa are a patient, quiet people, generally inclined to avoid the hustle and conflict which often permeates the world of Aetolia. In recent history, however, the peaceful, reclusive race has found itself playing a more direct role, forced to abandon their racial home in the Aalen forest to flee a deadly, toxic sludge dropped by the brutal Dreikathi invaders. Evacuated by a band of Duiran citizens, many refugees have become integrated into a new forest, calling it home, while others have taken the chance to venture into the world at large, joining the handful already living in the various cities of the realm. Physically, the race is lithe and slender, with angular, delicate features; indeed, the Tsol'aa are famed for their grace and beauty almost as much as they are known for their affinity for nature.

*Level 1: '''Forage''' All Tsol'aa innately know how to make the most of their surroundings and are instinctively able to FORAGE for sustenance in a forest location.

==Roleplay==
  | name3 = Hide
Due to their natural affinity to the forests, Tsol'aa make an ideal race for someone interested in the guilds of Duiran, particularly the [[Shaman]]s, [[Bahkatu]] and [[Sentinel]]s. The evacuation to Duiran makes a natural backstory for someone interested in playing a Tsol'aa who grew up in the Heartwood, although the race has always had members who have sought homes in the cities. Characters have both embraced and rejected their forestal origins, with some displaying deep ties to the land, while other, outcast Tsol'aa have rebelled against their heritage and instead sought to corrupt nature to strike at the society which shunned them, turning to classes like the Indorani to exterminate plantlife itself.
  | desc3 = <li> A Tsol'aa may sink back into the shadows and undergrowth, concealing themselves from casual observation.
  | name4 = Forest Regeneration
  | desc4 = <li> While inside a forest location, a Tsol'aa regenerates health and mana at a constant rate.
  | name5 = Forestwalk
  | desc5 = <li> When walking around in tree environments (forest, jungle, etc) your movement will be automatically stealthed.

The Tsol'aa diaspora that remains is scattered across Sapience, mainly concentrated in Duiran or throughout the world's surviving forests. Although some preserve their heritage and culture, assimilation has inevitably begun to occur for the generations born after the near-extinction of their race.
