History[edit]
Ch'watikk, a half-elven child, was left as an infant with a wood elf clan by his human mother. He grew up almost feral, fitting in more with the clan's animals than its people. His skittishness with people and habit of keeping a tree between himself and outsiders gave him his name, which means Red Squirrel in the wood-elf tongue. As he grew up, he learned some from the clan's hunters and druids, but more from the world itself. He was initiated as a druid by a wandering hermit he found one day at his secret spot - a long-abandoned sacred grove in the Old Wood. Taught more of the history of the Old Wood, and convinced of a connection to its power by a series of peculiar dreams, Ch'watikk has decided to go out and walk the world to stake out the wood's original boundaries.
Description[edit]
A tallish, skinny youth with vaguely elvish features, unkempt red hair, and prominent markings once used by the Ontilvari clan of elves, but in long disuse. Dressed in crude but sturdy hide clothing, and carrying an elvish scimitar.
