Castelis

**Castelis** is a wood elf druid from the snowy peaks of the mountain range on the island of Naburro in Las Cangrejadas. He is carefree and frequently inebriated, but unexpectedly alert and fiercely loyal.

## History

### Early Life

Castelis was a member of a monastic druidic organization, the Lunario Enclave, that tended to the local wildlife and worshiped the moon. Castelis was the keeper of an arboretum on the northeastern corner of Naburro.

Castelis was an infant during the Unification Wars. At the time of the Sundering of the Divine Chalice, Castelis was a young man. He married a woman named Ixia and they raised four children, living in relative peace for many years. As Ixia and Castelis watched their children grow mature, they decided to go see more of the world together. Ferried on the backs of ancient, colossal rainbow crabs, they set out to visit the mainland.

### Early Adventures

Castelis and Ixia got to know many new species and a large, wondrous world. As they grew wiser and their spirits healed from their wartime trauma, they spent much more time in animal form, howling at the moon and enjoying nature's company.

In a moment of unforeseen crisis, Castelis and Ixia were separated. In the three centuries since that event, Castelis has wandered the world hoping for signs of her presence. He pays close attention to nature and the flora around him in hope that she's left a clue about her whereabouts.

### Children

Irene (ee-ren-eh), the oldest child, has her own family with a ranger named Ordas. She is a Druid and spends most of her time hunting and patrolling with the local militia.

Chamaco, the middle child, is his musically inclined son who composes symphonies that can only be played with magical assistance.

Luciana and Juan Carlos, the twins, are Castelis' youngest children. They're both Druids who took over his work at the arboretum.

## Timeline

* 420 years ago (obviously), Castelis was born
* 384 years ago, the unification wars ended
* 318 years ago, Castelis married Ixia
* 211 years ago, Irene was born
* 208 years ago, Chamaco was born
* 202 years ago, Luciana and Juan Carlos were born
* 150 years ago, Castelis and Ixia set out on their journey
* 112 years ago, Castelis and Ixia were separated
* 37 years ago, the last time Castelis saw Irene

So, Irene is 211 years old, which makes her a young, but true adult in Elven terms. She is married to a ranger named Ordas, although they had no kids the last time Castelis was on Naburro.

Irene was part of the local junta (in the traditional sense, not a military junta, basically a council). She is a considerably skilled druid who reveres nature and loves the ocean in particular. She's a land druid of the coastal circle. She's a community leader, a gifted tracker, and wiser than Castelis.

Since losing Ixia, he returned to Naburro a few times to visit his family and check in on them. They're all doing well, but things were somewhat strained with Irene. Castelis hoped Irene would help track down Ixia, but Irene had to prioritize the community she helped lead. She even seemed skeptical Ixia survived. He understands this, and is proud of her for her conviction, but feels sad all the same.

He hasn't been back in a while (37 years, per the timeline), and he hasn't had a good way of keeping in touch remotely. For the last few years, he's been wandering aimlessly, starting to lose hope. When he settled in with a group of adventurers, a found family, he wondered if he would give up. Finding Irene's hair, though, awoke a rage and sense of vitality and familial duty that he thought he lost. He'll do anything to get Irene to safety.
