It is often rumored that druids have much closer ties to the elven community, a rumor substantiated by Elian’s conception. The product of one of these much storied unions, Elian was raised by his human mother in the wilderness, a means of protecting him from the scrutiny and inevitable awkwardness that his exotic features would generate amongst the insular town dwelling humans.
Elian found that though he studied with the great druid circle, he seemed to primarily possess an aptitude for hunting, tracking and stealth, as opposed to great facility with commanding the forces of nature or communication with the beasts. He tested and joined the Verdant Guard, a small elite group of rangers assigned to protect members of the druid circle and serve them as warders. In his time with the guard he encountered the talented young druid Morra and could not deny the evident chemistry between them. Though many find her bossy, he sees her commanding presence as a sign of her power, a greatly appealing trait. It is this budding bond that has motivated him to volunteer to protect Morra’s brother Kessel, a talented but depressed singer with basic druidic training. He has spent the last few days tracking Kessel’s group, following their movements and observing what they leave in their wake.
