Physical Abilities
Weavers, when compared to normal humans and animals, are still quite strong. They are fast, agile, and can easily coordinate attacks on human groups

Intelligence and Humanity
Weavers are incredibly intelligent, and are capable of high-level skills like empathy and society. Because of this, Weavers are very humane and reasonable. Despite their physical strength over humans, there have been very few conflicts between them. Weavers also have developed technology, and have constructed Essence Tools. These tools are mostly for construction and medicinal purposes.

Culture and Society
Weavers, being intelligent, have formed a society that is on the level of humans. They arrange in few, but heavily populated cities called Nests. In these Nests, they generally farm or lead administrative positions.

Their relationship with Wardens is very intricate and interlaced. They rely on the Wardens to communicate with the people of Eglantine, and throughout centuries have become extremely warm to them. They perform a surgery to the Wardens early on, altering their vocal chords to allow them to communicate with the Weavers. Wardens tend to stay in specific districts inside Nests. Regardless, each Warden tends to form one strong relationship with Weavers their entire life. Each pair operates as one well-coordinated unit.
