Maweer

Evolving from a barren world, the Maweer, a race of sentient plants, are rumored to have "terraform" or transform the planet into a lush garden world; aptly named The Garden.

Biology
The Maweer resemble that of dead trees, hollow and woody. Yet these supposed dead trees are alive. All Maweer are covered of in a hard bark-like substance and as they age moss, lichens and plants grow on the "bark" much like barnacles on whales. They are a slow moving species as their bulky bodies doesn't allow them to walk fast or run.

History
The world now known as The Garden wasn't always such a paradise. This world was once a barren wasteland with nothing growing but mountains and pillars of rock. But one day the ancestors of the Maweer arrived and change it. According to Maweer scientists, its currently unknown on whether their ancestor evolved on the planet or had another planet of origin. Whatever the case, Maweer seemed to have terraformed their world to become the habitable planet it is today. Legends report it took centuries transforming the wasteland and after finishing what they started they began to maintain what they had created. In order to keep the tranquility and balance they created The Maweer never developed any kind of large-scale urbanization.

Government & Culture
Their communities were small and were one with the forests they inhabited. The Maweer Caretakers, as their government calls themselves are pacifist in nature and prefer to invest in conservation efforts and agrarian work. Their leadership is life appointed are considered the wisest of them all. Those that are elected are called Life-Giver and are responsible for the nation as a whole and for keeping the peace and tranquility in nature.
