KK Here's Whildman's background. I am not familiar with the setting so could you check that it makes sense within the setting and supply a likely forest name.
[sblock="Background"]As a child Whildman did not have much of a future. He was born a slave and his mother died in childbirth. Yet somehow his father, Aslan, managed to contrive their escaped and they ended up in ???, where they started a new life as bandits.
Growing up in a bandit camp was not easy; "get out the way kid", followed by a kick or clip around the ear, was the norm. Then there were the chores, mostly fetching and carrying, morning noon and night. In fact the only time he had to himself was when the bandits were out on a raid.
Everything changed for Whildman around the time he was twelve. By that time Aslan had assumed the leadership of their band. Anyway bandits went off on a raid that went horribly wrong. Whildman never found out whether it was just bad luck or whether they had been betrayed. Either way the end would of been the same. The bandits were ambushed and killed. The ambushers then traced the bandits back to the camp, where they proceeded to capture the women and children. Fortunately, Whildman managed to hide and eventually escape. However, this left him alone in the forest.
Nothing happens in ??? without the druids knowing about it. Thus news of the bandit camp raid and the lone boy eventually trickled through to Didelas, the senior druid who lived and tended ??? Didelas kept track of the boy from afar and after a few weeks, decided that Whildman had a real bent for nature and would make a good druid. Thus even though he was well past middle age, Didelas decided to take on one last apprentice. While Didelas was originally apprehensive there would be some antagonism between Whildman and is heir apparent Yredoc. they actually bonded and became like brothers.
Years past and Whildman completed his training and was initiated in the Druidic order. Now while Yredoc was happy to stay and tend the forest, Whildman had the wanderlust. Therefore, shortly after his initiation, he left his family and went off to save the world, or at least see it.[/sblock]
