Who it’s for
DMs who need a nature guardian with instant hooks — players who want a principled guide from the wilds.
Closest D&D analogs
- druid guardian of the wild — nature magic, beasts and elements — fits “ancient orders that call on the forces of nature”
- ranger on the frontier — tracker, ambusher, protector of borders and roads through the wilds
- shadow-tainted threats — blights and Shadowfell bleed fit corrupted woods and fading light themes
Where to use
- black-water ford where roots drink the warmth from the river
- fallen shrine in a thinning forest — spirits whisper and paths shift
- logging camp stand-off — she enforces old pacts and sacred boundaries
- shadow border — thin places where daylight fails and the forest turns strange
How to run
- boss — defender who shapes terrain, raises difficult ground, calls roots and brambles, dictates where the fight happens
- elite — silent tracker with snares and alarms, appears when vows are broken
- neutral — negotiates safe passage or tasks to cleanse the grove
- pairing — add vine or twig-blight minions to show the forest turning on intruders
Quick hooks
- the river goes black — something upstream is feeding the roots
- ghost of the great tree — Elorin’s echo warns of a second felling
- price of passage — return what was taken or the path closes
- hunger under stone — an old boundary stone is cracked and bleeding shadow
