The Woodmen are composed of both the Woodmen and the Beornings of Mirkwood. They are a loose collection of hunter- gatherer tribes who live in or below the trees of the great forest. The Beornings are closely related to the Woodmen, although their ancestry is distinct, and a select few can shape-change. The Woodmen numbers are few, generally preferring to blend in with their environment rather than placing a burden upon it. Their clans prefer small centres of population, and hold several sites in the forest as holy. Loosely led by Beorn, they possess skilled leaders with great insight and wisdom, and deft agents with speed and cunning. The scattered population of the Woodmen presents difficulty in co-ordinating plans, but they are fierce warriors, effective in almost any terrain, and have rich resources at their disposal.
