## Emberwoods
These old, pure and powerful elementals. Using wood as substance for their being, they create moose like horns and defend the woods they claim as their land. The emberwoods are a more advanced for of elemental. Similar to elder elementals, these creatures have lived a long life and have now grown to be a much more powerful force. 

An emberwood is created when a fire elemental grows in strength, becoming powerful until the point of which it can become an elder elemental. But is trapped by the woods that it grew in. The woods that it would burn and imbue with its elemental magic, making the woods part of the elemental themselves. 

These selfless elementals will defend all that live within its woods. Defending those attacked and obliterating those that aim to destroy the forest is resides in. It does so with the strength of a dragon. Imitating a strong fear within people. In some cases dragons have entered the woods of an emberwood, and have been defeated by the brutish strength of them. 

Emberwoods learn from the creatures within the forest. Those that fail to learn die and sputter out while those that succeed, learn to attack with the ferocity of the powerful creatures that come near. 

Emberwoods are notable due to a unique ability they have. The ability to take other elementals, and bring them into their "family". They bring other fire elementals close to them, and almost like hypnotism, the fire elementals cannot do anything but obey the emberwood. However, the emberwood has no evil intentions. In fact the emberwoods do this to grow the fire elementals, feeding the multiple elementals its strength so that the fire elementals may all grow in to emberwoods such as itself. It is almost guarenteed that one of the emberwoods fire elemental "children" will take control of the emberwoods wooden body at the time of its death. Carrying on the legacy of parent like elementals. 

The fire elementals that the emberwood takes control of however, are no longer true fire elementals. As soon as they are taken control of, they are given shards of wood that they will grow into their own armor or ornament for their future bodies. Thus, they are no longer fire elementals but emberwood spirits. Children of the emberwood and followers of their protector.  

Emberwood Dragons are mighty and powerful, however, they will listen to what adventurers have to say. Allowing them to pass through the forest if their intention is pure. Do not be alarmed by these creatures. They do not wish to immediately harm others and is the reason why they protect the forest they reside in. They may not be able to partake in peace due to their fiery nature but, if they preserve other's peace with it then they will try their hardest.

##### Note
  Emberwood Spirits make their weapons out of the wood that they make their body of. So, an emberwood spirit may only have one of the weapons: a maul, shortbow, or a scimitar, not all three at once.
