Shifter - Persecution On a dark & stormy night (is there any other kind), a frantic shifter mother flees through the woods at the border of Elfharrow... her only burden an infant son. She was discovered, on the verge of death, by a group of elven druids from the Grove of the Mountain Fold (unless Walking Dad would like to rename our sacred grove). Her dying words to them, "The Reavers..." mystified them as much as the furry child. The elves laid the woman to rest, and brought the infant shifter back to their grove.
They named the child Twiixt, since he had found himself betwixt two peoples. He was raised by an elven family, who had a boy (Taran) of about his age. The two were raised as brothers.
Twiixt was mostly accepted by his new community. The woods were still a part of his nature, but he had a more "predatory" approach to the woodlands, than his elven benefactors... but they druids of the grove decided to use that to their advantage, and began training Twiixt to be a Protector of the Grove from an early age. After his adopted brother found his calling as a druid, the two spent their days prowling the woodlands seeking out threats to the grove.
One one such outing, they discovered a mysterious seedling. Neither they, or the elders of the grove, were able to identify the plant... which seemed to exude a strange power. He and his "brother" Taran were sent off with a cutting from the strange sapling, in order to meet with druids from a grove outside Athkalta. It was hoped that they could assist in identifying the sprout, to determine if it was a blessing on the grove... or a curse.
So, raised among the wild elves of Elfharrow, Twiixt went the first twenty-odd years of his life without ever meeting a non-elf until the day when they arrived in the Athkalta... and were promptly captured & jailed under suspicion of practicing arcane magic. Although they were later released, the cutting was not returned to them with the rest of their possessions...
