Personal history

The Halifax family are the Aristocratic Priests of Elcastor, but they have a secret, Grave. You see Grave was born a Tiefling, an atrocity in the eyes of the religious members of Elcastor. If a family is found to have bore a Tiefling, both it's parents and the child are "expunged" from this world. For this reason, Grave's parents hid the child from the world. He was only able to interact with his family's servants, Bartholomew and Matilda.
One day at the age of five, a ruthless mob attacked the family's mansion - demanding that they turn themselves and the child over. Matilda helped the poor child escape through a passageway the family had prepared, for just this reason. The tunnel was long and narrow, and poorly made, but Grave finally exited into the nearby Forcroft Forest. Mobs began to search the woods, but were confronted by panthers and wild vines. Assuming the child would die, they finally gave up their pursuit. Alone and scared he found shelter in the rotten base of a giant oak. That night he had his first dream of his druidic mentor - he called himself "The Trees."
A few years later, he met a gnome child - Towpip. Towpip had been collecting mushrooms in the forest one day, when he stumbled upon Grave. He had heard that Tieflings were evil and vile creatures that would attack anyone, but Graves seemed to be harmless. So he gave the boy some food, and they quickly became friends. Towpip would bring him food, and they would play together. One day Towpip produced a gust of air with only his hands - that's when they learned Towpip was a Sorcerer.
Towpip would tell Grave about the happenings in the village each day; the new market that was being built, the new priest that had shown up trying to convert members, the new owners of his family's home. They had been friends for years now, Grave being 17 this year. Towpip was growing up and becoming an apprentice to a mage, in an attempt to get his gifts under hand. One day, Towpip didn't visit, sure he had gone on errands with his mentor before, but he had always told Grave about it. This was strange indeed. A few days passed with no sign of Towpip, when a gnome girl, slightly older than Towpip came into the forest shouting. "Towpip! Towpip! Where are you?! Please brother! Come home!" Graves came out of from behind a tree and spoke with the girl, named Krixi. He learned that the strange priest was a dwarf, and had offered to take Towpip away - told him that the powers he had could be managed, if only he left with him.
Krixi fears he may have left with him.
