He was blindfolded and carried for two days to an area of the forest which he had never seen.  He was then told to sit on a log and they would tell him when he could uncover his eyes.  After waiting most of the day, he uncovered his eyes and realized he was utterly alone for the first time in his life.Nym was a toug child, and this kept him alive over the next few months as he struggled to survive in the forest.  He grew up very quickly, using his strength and cunning to survive in an environment far more hostile than most children his age would face.  However, as winter approached, his hunting grounds became bare, and he as struggling to live.  He then experienced his second bout of fortune as he was found freezing in a snow covered meadow by a band of druids.  They took him in and brought him back to health.The druids were very kind, and over time tamed Nym’s wildness somewhat.  He began learning other languages than Elven, and eventually decided to follow their example and become a druid.The druids did their best to keep out of the civil war, but eventually worked with Lord Luxor, as he had promised to renew the agreements to not put the forests near his lands to the axe or forge.  Nym was a fierce warrior and budding druid, and served some in the last days of the conflict as a guide and forest scout.  As part of the continuing pact between the druids of the grove near Mosstone and Lord Luxor, Nym has stayed in his service.</blockquote>
