Erlkönig

In the thick forests of the Harmony Goddess lies Erlkönig, a demigod with magical powers. He likes to take children away from their parents and replaces them with ugly changelings, can appear as an invisible forest spirit, transform into bears, wolves, deer and other various forest dwellers, can cast all kinds of spells, control plants, thorns and trees in a magical way.... or so the legends say. 
In reality, Erlkönig is far from his glory days. He once used to rule over the northern forests of Zemyland, long before the Zemylanders, or even the Hyperboreans roamed these lands. But Erlkönig one day got too cocky, and abducted the son of the Aine Saevherne Elder King. 
Thanks to his magically gifted advisor, Calathan, the Elder King found the true source of these kidnappings. With fire and steel they razed Erlkönig's forest, his minions being unable to deal with the magic of the mighty Calathan.
Powerless and defeated, Erlkönig fled to the south, even using a glamor spell in order to sneak aboard a fishing sloop. Erlkönig found his way to the jungles near opportunity river. As most of the pilgrims that made their way to the templeswould follow the predetermined paths, Erlkönig was left with no prey.
To this day, he sits idly in his grove, daydreaming about better times while caiques and cacatoes mock him with their songs.
