Bodren primarily live in smaller like-minded communities that collectively make up a larger tribe of Bodren people. Rarely do Bodren feel the need to consult or address a social leader and only in times of great need will the larger tribe come together to solve issues. Bodren domiciles are minimal and attempt to influence the natural world around them as little as possible, with some Bodren choosing to only live in natural caves, coverings, and cenotes. The Bodren have a deep respect for the natural world, and while they do not directly view any aspect as a god itself, they draw guidance and lessons from nature and the wild world around them. Many Bodren feel a strong connection to a specific aspect of nature and will personally revere said aspect, be it the fluidity and freedom of a flowing river; the birth and death cycle of a flower field, or the unstoppable and wild nature of the wind.
Although Bodren reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, their understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. Living well over 700 years gives them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply. They are more often amused than excited, and more likely to be curious than greedy. They tend to remain aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, Bodren can be focused and relentless. They are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance.
Like the branches of a young tree, Bodren are flexible in the face of danger. They trust in diplomacy and compromise to resolve differences before they escalate to violence. They have been known to retreat from intrusions into their hidden homes, confident that they can simply wait the invaders out. But when the need arises, Bodren reveal a stern martial side, demonstrating skill with sword, bow, and strategy.
