Rystus Shadowbane

Vahlka's uncle, a cavern-speaker (underdark druid) who was working with Marli Venomblood and the outrunners under her command. He is the brother of Vahlka's mother Ursula Shadowbane. 
When we encountered him he had not seen Vahlka since she was a small child. He treat
ed the party with affable curiosity and allowed us to stay within his quarters beneath the Outrunner outpost.
Rystus is in the midst of his second Anshi'kah. His Anshi is a brass dragon wyrmling named Bright Eyes.
