The most highly respected craftsmen among animals, nobles of many different species who wish to have something built, or to be taught how to build, seek beavers out.
Single-minded and fastidious, beavers will stay with a project until it’s completion – whether that job is the construction of a dam or undertaking a quest to save his forest from evil magic.
Their services prized by the many species who have little capacity for any sort of crafting, noble beavers will often barter their services in return for protection, food, or magic. Any beaver who abuses the trust of other species will find themselves ostracized by the rest of the beaver community. A notable exception to this rule, of course, are rats. Beavers do not trust nor like rats as a whole, and they feel that any opportunity to take advantage of a rat is simply self defense.
