Starter Player Character — Sylvanreach Enclaves
Name: Thalan Greenveil
Race: Elf (Wood Elf)
Class (Suggested): Ranger (Gloom Stalker or Hunter) or Druid (Circle of the Land—Forest)
Faction: Sylvanreach Enclaves
Appearance:
Thalan is lithe and sharp-eyed, with leaf-green eyes and bark-patterned tattoos along his arms. His dark hair is bound with living vines, and his cloak is woven from enchanted leaves that subtly shift color with the forest canopy. His gear is practical, silent, and grown rather than forged.
Backstory:
Born beneath the oldest boughs of the Sylvanreach, Thalan was raised to believe the forest is not land to be owned, but a living covenant. Trained as a warden-scout, he patrolled ley-line crossings and border glades long before the Ashen Dominion’s fires reached elven lands. After witnessing an entire grove burned for conquest, Thalan swore to carry the will of the Enclaves beyond the trees—hunting those who threaten the balance and forging alliances where roots alone can no longer hold.
Important Characters of the Sylvanreach Enclaves
1. Elder Rowaneth Silvershade
Race: Elf (High Elf)
Class/Role: Archdruid (Circle of the Land—Forest)
Faction Role: Speaker of the Great Enclave
Appearance & Backstory:
Rowaneth’s silver hair falls like mist around her bark-etched robes, and her eyes glow faintly with emerald light. She has guided the Sylvanreach Enclaves for centuries, communing directly with the forest’s ancient spirits. Rowaneth seeks diplomacy first but has sanctioned open resistance after repeated incursions by the Ashen Dominion and Obsidian Satrapy.
2. Bramblelord Kaerth Oakrend
Race: Elf (Wood Elf)
Class/Role: Fighter (Eldritch Knight)
Faction Role: Commander of the Thornward Hosts
Appearance & Backstory:
Kaerth wears armor grown from ironwood and thornsteel, his greatblade etched with druidic runes. Once a peaceful guardian, he took up war magic after leading survivors from a razed border enclave. Kaerth believes the Sylvanreach must now meet steel with steel to survive Andorea’s age of conquest.
3. Lethariel Moonbough
Race: Elf (Eladrin)
Class/Role: Bard (College of Spirits)
Faction Role: Keeper of Ancestral Memory
Appearance & Backstory:
Lethariel’s seasonal form shifts with the forest’s mood—spring green, autumn gold, or winter pale. She wanders the Enclaves gathering stories, spirits, and songs of fallen groves. Her magic preserves the memory of lands lost to fire, ensuring no destruction is ever forgotten or forgiven.
4. Torvyn Rootbound
Race: Firbolg
Class/Role: Druid (Circle of the Shepherd)
Faction Role: Warden of the Deep Wilds
Appearance & Backstory:
Towering and moss-covered, Torvyn speaks rarely, but animals heed his every word. He guards the deepest reaches of the Sylvanreach, where primal beasts and ancient treants dwell. Torvyn distrusts outsiders completely and views the rise of empires as a sickness spreading across Andorea.
5. Shadeleaf Nyra
Race: Elf (Wood Elf)
Class/Role: Rogue (Scout)
Faction Role: Shadow-Warden of the Borders
Appearance & Backstory:
Nyra moves unseen, her armor dyed in forest shadow and leaf-ash. She was orphaned during an Ashen Dominion raid and raised by wardens who taught her that survival is vigilance. Now she tracks enemy movements beyond the forest, feeding vital intelligence back to the Enclaves before flames can spread.
