Krysthara

The Forest of Destiny is home to many wonders and curiosities. A rich, vast, and sprawling forest filled with flora and fauna not found anywhere else throughout the Twilight Kingdoms. Deep in these woods dwell the Fauns. Ancient tribes of wise and mystical creatures, primarily resembling humans, but with mild beastly features such as antlers or hoofs. The appearance of a Faun can range from practically human to almost fully bovid, depending on age, origin, and ancestry. Fauns are known to be one with nature, living peacefully and in harmony with their surroundings, with a deep and profound connection to every living thing in the woods. They are practitioners of Ur-magick, arcane powers channeled through the trees, soil, and bedrock itself. This leads some particularly gifted Fauns to be bestowed with prophetic visions, and premonitions of the natural order of things. These Fauns often become tribal seers, revered for their wisdom and useful skills, as they can predict things such as weather conditions, celestial events, cycles of life and growth, and lurking dangers.   Krysthara, the young Faun, had just discovered her rare gift and was still learning how to wield it, when one night she was awoken from her sleep by a violent vision as vivid and real as the moon and stars. She collapsed to her knees by the powerful presence, and dug her fingers into the ground to siphon comfort and protection. Opalescent and glittering shapes flashed before her mind’s eye - verdant green, oceanic blue, and ominous orange in a violent visual cacophony. Then something spoke to her. Not a voice, and not with words. But a celestial message. A deep, profound, and primordial message, through an invisible and wordless language buried between the whispers of the wind, and carried to her spirit through the fabric of mana itself. Krysthara was completely engulfed and benumbed by the ineffable power of this ancient force, surging through her being. She fell to the ground, and screamed into the night for the ancient forest spirits to save her, for she thought her end was nigh. Then all went dark.   When Krysthara finally came to, she slowly opened her eyes, and sensed a permeating arcane force within her like nothing she had ever felt. She knew the path that lay before her, and the gravity of her purpose. She had to venture far beyond the Forest of Destiny. Far beyond the safety of her hearth and home, to fulfill ancient prophecies and be the guiding hand to the ‘Crystal Bearers’. She did not know who or where they were, but she knew that they were in distress, and that the stars would guide her.
