Trait
Ease of Faith: Buck Hornknife invested Den's faith in nature from an early age. He took steps to ensure Den understood that Erastil's love which powers his divine magic is no different than that which powers the magic of other religions. This philosophy makes it easier for you to interact with others who may not share your views. You
gain a +1 trait bonus on Diplomacy checks, and Diplomacy is always a class skill for you.
Pioneer: Whether because of Den's personal expertise and familiarity with the borderlands, he joined the expedition into the Stolen Lands. He begins play with a horse. Also he gains a +1 trait bonus in Ride.

Background
Den was raised in the small farming community of Carpabrooke, struggling to nurture the crops and animals on the poor South Brevoy lands. He played in the woods with his two younger sisters and swam in the streams with Velad, his elder brother. The family lived a simple life, keeping to the old traditions of their Kellid blood, their father ensuring that everyone could take care of themselves in the wilds. With Velad one day due to inherit the farm, the polite, well-mannered boy looked elsewhere for excitement and a chance to shine.

There were plenty of journeyman and master craftsmen knocking on the door, to take him as an apprentice, but he didn't want to stop working the land, certainly not to sweat by a hot forge all day.

Aimless and bored, Den can remember the day his life changed, the day he saved the unlucky gnome, Buck Hornknife, from the spring trap. The sudden friendship turned into a love of nature and in particular the fey. Over the next five years, Buck and his friends awakened powers in Den that he never knew he had and eventually gave him purpose, telling him that the fey of the Stolen Lands needed his help against the various bandits and brigands who were despoiling the countryside.

Buck was a druid of the fey, servant of Erastil, with a love of practical jokes and telling tall tales. He fired Den up with stories of the River Kingdoms and the way that the gnomes have fought to keep parts of the land secure. He introduced Den to the elven sage, Hernonnar, who explained how the elves left ruins and signs of ways to the Feywild, ways that the gnomes kept close.
Finally came the treant, Lorrinteal, a waterside tree shepherd who taught the man, patience and gave him many insights into the ways of man and how to best spread the word of Old Deadeye.

Eventually Den left the farm armed with his new faith and gradually travelled south towards Restov as a healer and jobbing farmer, helping families and individuals get the most from the soil and their animals. Den's gentle smile and willingness to work made more than one person underestimate the helpful soul.

He firmly believes that the Stolen Lands needs strong communities with links to all the woodsmen and outlying farms, that Erastil will protect and nurture such a society. The excesses of civilisation that happen in towns like Restov, the nobility with their love of politics and ambition have no place in such a community, leadership and guidance can come from their faith.
