[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 7003738, member: 6775477"] This is my current character for Primeval Thule. He's a human Druid Soothsayer. I was an apprentice shaman of the Meru tribe of the Dhal Mesh. I learned that I could see the will of the Forest Gods by watching for Omens. This apprenticed me to the tribe shaman, who I only knew as “master.” Under his guidance, I could even summon an Omen with difficulty, but the results were often vague. He showed me prayers to the various Spirits, that they might aid me. I showed promise to become the tribe shaman when my master rejoined the Earth Spirit. One night I was haunted by a terrible dream. The Meru were attacked by slavers, and everyone was captured. When I awoke, I was unsure if the dream was a Night Omen or simply a nightmare of my own creation. I left my hut and looked to the skies, where I saw a fluttering bat glowing in a crimson light. I knew my dream was a true Omen, and woke my master. My master took my Omen to the chief, but he would hear none of it. He had long planned an attack against the Beastmen, and would not divert his attention, lest they slip away. He took his best warrior and myself (for my master was too old to travel) on the raid, where we crushed an encampment of Beastmen. When we returned, we found our home in ruin. The Crimson Slavers of Marg had come, just as I predicted. They had taken most of the village, including my parents and master. The chief blamed my master in order to save his position as chief, but I could not accept this. I fled the tribe in the night, that I may one day return. Now I wander, seeking those who would listen to the words of the Forest Gods, rather than shun them. [/QUOTE]
