The Hermit
The Hermit is a young man living in the vivid forests of the Wilderness. He lives in a tiny hut close to a rushing river and is engulfed by the mists that the Wilderness has created. Some claim he had been born into the Wilderness and is therefore stuck in it; others mention that he has been Lorlan before he moved to the Wilderness and never returned. He mostly keeps to himself, but if you earn his trust, he is believed to grant wishes. Be careful though. Do not get attached to him. You might not be ready for what you are about to learn when you spend time with him.
Social
Contacts & Relations
The Hermit is often visited by adventurers that get lost in the Wilderness. Sometimes, he helps them by offering them a place to sleep or a piece of his healing fruits. He was banned by his community when he was a young adult, therefore, Lorlans often fear meeting him in person. Dwarves and Elves are unaware of his existence, while citizens of Aeva watch his actions very closely. Some claim he might be the next mortal to enter their realms; others state that he might be as powerful as several celestials combined.
Family Ties
There are rumours about him having two brothers and three sisters, all of which are rather normal. They consist of a scholar, a scriptor, two preschool teachers and a personal assistant.
Neither of them are still in touch with him after their parents died.
Religious Views
The Hermit is a follower of Pa'axi and admires her work as a talekeeper. Some have heard that he was interested in becoming one as well, before he was banned from his city. After he entered the Wilderness, he abandoned the idea of talekeeping and chose solitude over self-fulfilment.
Speech
Most of the time, he tends to talk in vague phrases and chooses not to respond to every question one asks. He refuses to use any titles or honorifics and uses informal pronouns by default.
Wealth & Financial state
Apart from his hut and belongings stored there, the hermit isn't wealthy by any means. He earns a few coins by selling his magical fruits, but uses these right after to buy food and other supplies in the Wilderness settlements closeby. He lives quite self-sufficient and doesn't care about any luxury items.
