High Elder Teryn Vallowayne

Race: Human | Age: 63 | Class: Druid (Circle of the Land – Swamp) Role: Voice of the Council, Keeper of the Riverbind Oath Appearance: Teryn is tall and sinewy, with bark-brown skin weathered by decades in mist and sun.

Personality: Calm, deliberate, and deeply wise. Teryn weighs all things with care — tradition and progress, life and death, the needs of people and the voice of the land. She believes deeply in balance, and holds an unshakable faith in the living memory of the river. Abilities & Knowledge: Can speak to wetland flora and fauna, and read omens in fog, water ripple, and birdsong. Maintains the Riverbind Oath, a sacred pact between Rivermoor and the spirits of the Whispering Marsh. Holds ancient knowledge of pre-settlement ruins, druidic glyphs, and old magic buried in peat.
