TEXT: Death & Heroic Deeds 
  (Meta-Organization Supplement - March, 2002) 
  People of the Gnarley 
  The Western Gnarley Forest is home to many and protected by the brave few. 
  People of the Wood have chose a life of the forest.  They live off the gifts of the forest provide and use of its 
  resources sparingly.  It is not uncommon to witness on eof their numbers standing in the forest quietly listening.  
  The enjoy hearing the wind rustle the leaves, which they call the “Song of the Trees.” When danger nears they 
  tend to band together for their own safety and that of the forest. Wary of strangers at first, they quickly turn to offer 
  warm hospitality for those who mean no harm. 
  Gnarleyman are well-established residents of the Gnarley Forest. They tend to be on the leaders of their small 
  communications in the woods. Gnarley Rangers and/or Druids are known to stop by a Gnarleyman’s home on 
  occasion and be made welcome. 
  Gnarley Ranger – Junior Rangers are the entry point of the Gnarley rangers and act as the defenders of the 
  Great Forest.  Their job is not only to the protection of the wood and its inhabitants, but also to hunt down those 
  who seek to do it harm. The Rangers protect the forest from outsiders, especially humanoids from the Pomarj, but 
  also bandits and evil cults skulking in the Gnarley. Warm relations exist between the Rangers and Gnomes, 
  Gnarleyman, Swanmays, and Werebears. They are closely tied to the Western Gnarley High Druid and the 
  Oaken Father. While they have neutral relations with the Greyhawk, Dyvers, Furyondy, Verbobonc and Celene; 
  they prefer not to see their political expansion in to the forest.
