Green Folk

The Green Folk were one of the four basic people groups of Maztica, living in the low jungles south of the desert known as the House of Tezca.

Description
The Green Folk were short like the Payit. They were dexterous but not overly strong.

Personality
As a rule, the Green Folk were private people. In fact, few who entered their forests were ever seen again. They would shoot first with their arrows and ask questions later. However, it was possible to impress them with displays of supernatural power.

Society
The Green Folk were organized into separate villages and did not have a nation of their own although the nation of Kolan, which was found on the western coast of Maztica, included inhabitants of Green Folk stock. These villages were scattered through the jungles of the Southern Wilds.

Religion
The Green Folk worshiped gods of nature, such as Maztica, Nula, Qotal, or Watil, but they did not practice human sacrifice.

Combat
They were highly skilled in the use of bow and arrow, and they often tipped their arrows with kurari poison.

When they took prisoners, they only rarely let them live.
