Xar'kith Valdorn

Xar'kith Valdorn is a male dragonborn druid whose copper-scaled hide is scored with ash-brown burn marks from nights spent beside greenflame braziers, and whose slit-pupiled eyes track movement in the treeline like a hunting lizard. He wears a travel cloak of stitched hide and fern-fiber cord, the hem damp with pond-mud, and carries a gnarled staff wrapped in vine-twined leather that smells of crushed leaves. When danger nears, he taps the staff twice against the earth—once to call his warded grove, once to silence it—and speaks in low, breath-steady phrases as he persuades the wild to defend him.
