Wodeman

Wodeman is a druid who lives near the village of Redwood in Eriabourne.
== History and Personality ==
Wodeman was apparently once a soldier from the Grey Marches, but seemingly the life did not satisfy him and he deserted during a campaign into the King's Wood to kill the bandit Matthias. Where Wodeman went then is a mystery, and he grows distant when asked about it, simply saying that he was given direction from the forest. He appeared near the village of Redwood some years later, his hair now long and a beard on his face. Wodeman is stern, uncouth and sometimes quick to anger, but his heart is gentle and he is a loyal ally. His companion, a large black elk, is seen even more rarely than he is, but is rumoured to be magical. However, those who seek to hunt it tend to come to an unpleasant end.
== In the Campaign ==
Renagen first mentioned the druid after Azuk and Keldin enquired as to what might have cursed the tomb raider Kael to be harassed by a murder of vicious crows. Wodeman immediately admitted his responsibility, claiming that the thief had to be punished for his insolence. To placate the angry druid, it was agreed that Kael would become the druid's new apprentice, and learn the ways of the wood to temper his recklessness and greed.
On a later visit, Wodeman mentioned that he was having trouble with an evil druidic sect.
