If you ever come across a magical grove or big fancy tree house, you would know that the Ruplemore clan had been there. They use their magic to create the most beautiful and impressive scenery imaginable. Always hosting social events with the fairies, elves and other forest creatures, a Ruplemore party is a sight to behold.

The Ruplemore are blessed with the school of Illusion and earth magic. Because of their craft, the Ruplemore tend to be charismatic, flamboyant, outgoing, and self-assured. Remarkably creative, these illusionists enjoy art, literature, poetry, and music, and many are accomplished artists. Although their aptitude for scholarly pursuits is as great as that of any other specialists, illusionists spend less time in research than most, foregoing the isolation of the laboratory for the company of people and the constant thrill of manipulating the powers of sensation

Pragmatic by nature, they accept the impermanence of all things, and see only futility in the acts of those who dedicate their lives to the development of all-encompassing philosophies of existence and meaning. They love discovering new things, even simple things, such as an exotic food or an unfamiliar style of clothing.

They form nomadic bands that travel constantly, lured by the open road and the wide horizon to discover the wonders of new lands and peoples. Ruplemore campsites and wagons are lavishly decorated with rich and plush furnishings. They have a picturesque sense of color and style. They cherish the bonds of family and friendship as well as the comforts of hearth and home, harboring few dreams of gold or glory.

Ruplemore wizards and witches are tasked with the sacred duty of tending the gardens and forests of the wizard clans. Their use of earth magic and making things grow is beyond compare. They will travel from forest to forest, visiting and working with elves and gnomes to keep the land lush and beautiful. A Ruplemore knows the circle of life and how to maintain balance in all things. They are the best at knowing when to let go and move on to something greater.

The Freeling creatures that work closely with the traveling Ruplemore clan are used to help strengthen their magical ties with the natural world. They live in the forests and hills, collecting things that always end up being useful to wizards and their ilk. Freelings can be persnickety in nature, always wanting to be the center of attention. Therefore, they can be seen as rude or selfish creatures. But like most things, this is not the case and after a time, they will wiggle their way into your heart.
