Tablin In The World

The tablin live in The Tablwood mainly preferring the wild to urban life. This is not always the case however. Many live within cities just fine, and blend in well. Usually, they make dwellings out of natural places like hollowed out trees and caves or building dens from natural materials. The tablin live either in diverse communities or in a tribe whose members are of the same totem. While not endangered or at risk, the tablin of Estoya were given The Tablwood due to the many hate crimes against them that occured in the past. The tablin have been integrated into society since then but some still get strange looks from the peasantry.

Tablin Society

The social structure of the tablin roots itself in their belief in totems. Totems are the identifying image of the tablin's bestial nature, which in some cases isn't obvious. While having the horns of a ram would easily make your totem a ram, some features are hidden allowing tablin to blend into society. These totems do not determine status or rank. They are used merely as an identifier of who one is and their connection to their totems.



The Tablin prefer lives of leisure and faith. They are the most hospitable race of in the world to many talking to strangers as if they were old friends.

Refusing a tablin offer of hospitality is never appreciated and is often treated as a sign of great disrespect.

The Tablwood Tribunal is a counsel of all the tribal leaders who are considered minor nobles in Estoyan politics, and are a major voice when the nobles meet.
