Editing Corse, the Swamp Panther (section)

==The Unspoken Farewell==
Corse last saw his eldest brother when he was only a boy, in the sacred grove of Herewar, in the city of Cendriane.  He was playing under an ash tree there with a hand scythe and a bundle of reeds.  From the hill, he saw his brother leaving through the city gates.  He called out to him, but his brother either could not hear him or did not respond.

Ten years later, when only 16 years old, he vowed to find his brother.  Before he left, he hacked down the aspen tree in a fit of anger.  His mother, the Lady of the Hunt, discovered that he had cut down the sacred tree.  She took and fashioned it into his staff for the journey.  (magic staff +3)
