Description
Towering over you is a cloud giant, who must be at least thirteen feet tall.
His arms are massive like the branches of an oak, and his legs are thick like
the base of one. He is rather pale in comparison to many races who are out
in the sun a lot. Perhaps it is because he spends much of his time within
the trees, sheltered by the beautiful greens of the land. His eyes are blue
like the sky he was born near and his hair is white like the clouds his
ancestors lived under and around. He seems to have a light heart as he
looks around the land, but a scowl comes upon his faces when he sees what
others call "civilization." The birds of the air and the animals in the
field do not scurry or fly away at his presence, but instead seem to
be drawn toward this tall giant. His mannerisms and love for the forest
give away his profession as a druid of the lands.

The beginning

Karrel Windfoot was born to a simple farming family in the forests near Arial City.
His family prided itself on the growth of mushrooms and fruits in the land they shared with
the animals around them. They lived in harmony and tried their best to preserve and
take care of that which was blessed to them. However, they were aware of what was going on below
them in the other forests of the land. The encroachment of "cities" on their beautiful forests.
This angered his family because they saw themselves not as owners, but as stewards of the
land they lived on. How could someone own the land that the mother provided for the blessed people
of thera? Karrel was perplexed by this and so when he reached the age of 100 and was deemed
old enough to travel, he ventured around the lands. He met some kind folks who showed
him a way to see what "was" and he was happy to find beautiful groves and trees and forests.
Elves dancing and frolicking and animals living humbly off of what they were provided.
But he did notice people who seemed bent on harming the forests where the guardians lived.
He wished to see what had happened in the years between and so he ventured back toward
the west in modern thera and found ruins. Ruins and destruction, cities that were harming the woods
around them, and lumberjacks cutting down the beautiful trees that once were. It was
through these moments that his anger rose and his desire for justice for the mother
grew in his heart. He was no longer blind to the ways of "men" but was instead enraged by
those who would take something of beauty and hide it or cut it down for unfeeling stone
and mortar. He was angered, and in his anger vowed justice!
