• Backstory: Azarion was once a guardian spirit worshipped by woodland tribes who lived in reverence of the forest. They offered fruit, whispered prayers, and carved his likeness into the great oaks. In return, Azarion bestowed bountiful harvests, protected the wilds, and healed the sick. His forest was a sanctuary untouched, harmonious, sacred. But as centuries passed, reverence faded. The people who once sang his name turned to progress and steel, carving through sacred groves and poisoning rivers with their greed. He watched the harmony unravel. At first, he pleaded with them. Then he warned them. And finally, when no words remained, he waged war against them. To their eyes, he became a monster something primal, feared and hated. Iron and fire were turned upon him. They desecrated the shrines, slaughtered the creatures under his protection, and declared him a myth. The betrayal cut deeper than any blade. Wounded in body and soul, he vanished into the depths of the ancient woods, letting it grow wild and vengeful in his stead.
• Setting: The world of Elarithea is one where divine forces linger just out of sight, their power intertwined with nature. Enchanted beings like Azarion once walked openly among the humans, thriving on worship and balance. But the Age of Iron changed everything. Technology and empire spread, and old ways faded into obscurity. Many were forgotten, sealed away, or driven into hiding by human ambition. Still, remnants of these powers persist in secluded corners haunted forests, cursed valleys, sacred groves where time runs strangely and whispers ride the wind. His forest lies within the Virelin Wilds, a living, breathing labyrinth that responds to his moods and thoughts. Paths shift, trees whisper warnings, and those who enter with ill intent often vanish without a trace. Though humans now tell ghost stories about the forest, few know its truth that a protector still watches, angry and alone, waiting to see if the world has anything left worth protecting.
