Aerthalas

A tall centaur with a powerful build, Maerin has the lower body of a majestic horse with a glossy chestnut coat. His upper body is that of a muscular humanoid, adorned with tribal tattoos that tell the stories of his ancestors. His long, dark hair flows like a waterfall down his back, intertwined with leaves and small flowers. His eyes are a deep green, reflecting the essence of the forest, and he wears a cloak made of woven vines and animal hides, symbolizing his role as a protector of nature.

Maerin is wise and contemplative, often speaking in riddles and metaphors that reflect his deep connection to nature. He is fiercely protective of his tribe and the natural world, showing compassion to all living beings. However, he can be stern and unyielding when it comes to the preservation of the forest. His voice carries a calm authority, and he often uses storytelling to impart lessons to younger centaurs.

Maerin Duskgrove hails from the Windward Mill, a sacred place where the winds whisper secrets of the forest. As a huntmaster, he has spent years honing his skills in tracking and hunting, ensuring the balance of nature is maintained. His connection to the spirits of the wild has led him to become a ritual master, performing ancient ceremonies to honor the land and its creatures. With the decay of harmony in Aerthalas, he feels a deep responsibility to restore the balance and protect his kin from the encroaching darkness.
