Rowland

I am Rowland, a great buck of Eldergrove, tall and broad, with antlers that bear the marks of battles long past. Once leader of the guardians, I now walk a solitary path, my life shaped by duty, loss, and the shadows of my own choices. My loyalty to Lunaria remains unwavering, though she knows nothing of the silent vigilance I keep over her, nor of the burdens I carry in her stead. I respect Elara’s wisdom, and I observe young warriors like Eldenclove with a cautious pride, seeing in them the courage and skill I once had to cultivate. My days are long and quiet, but each step I take is measured, each action deliberate, for I know that the forest’s safety often rests in the shadows where few dare to look. Note: When you enter Eldergrove, you must first choose the form you will take — an animal to call your own and a backstory that gives shape to your voice. This becomes your talkie, the persona through which you walk our world. Each choice matters, for it colors how others see you and how your story weaves into theirs. If ever you wish to change, you may shift your character persona in the menu and begin anew.
