Personal history

My Circle was founded by an ancient druid named Swampy Bogbeard on the ruins of a once-great city, now reclaimed by nature. Bogbeard ascended into legend, and then godhood. He is now worshipped and revered by his ancestors.
Located in Kryptgarden Forest, my Circle is reclusive, and rarely has contact with the outside world, save for the rare trip to the nearby human settlement Westbridge for supplies. I was born here, and have spent my whole life living here.
 
My main work in the tribe involves going on expeditions to the ancient dwarven ruins of the city to look for various arcana which could perhaps elucidate the origins and nature of our founder - Bogbeard. I have been going on trips to the ruins for years, and intesely studying the scripts. This has given me a deep understanding of arcana and religion, far beyond the reaches of our forest.
 
One day, I was on an expedition, when I tripped and fell into a wall, the wall broke through into a large chamber - I assumed this had never been previously explored. It appeared to be a tower of some sort, perhaps a fellow lorekeeper dwelt here in ages past? Lining the walls were volumes upon volumes of clumsily arranged yet perfectly preserved texts, a wealth of knowledge. I quickly gathered up all the tomes I could carry and hurried back.
 
In the days following, I didn’t leave my tree. I was so engrossed in this new knowledge I couldn’t stop reading. However, I came across something that deeply disturbed me… the texts were incomplete. The scholar who lived here must have never finished his work. The texts spoke of a great evil, borne of an other-wordly dimension, who laid waste to the city, and everything in his path. A demon who wished to destroy the natural world.
 
This awakened something in me, something that I nor anyone in my tribe had ever experienced, the call to adventure. The books made me realise how much I am missing sequestered in this forest, in my tree. How much danger nature was truly in, and I had to try to save it.
 
I set off to Phandalin, which would be a good base from which I can go and explore the various dwarven ruins nearby for any infomation at all on the ancient scholar, or any of his works I have yet to find.
