Primeheart
Goliath Cleric of Nature and Monk of the Kensei
Zanroc Lukinavi (a.k.a. Primeheart)
From the depths of the Skyroot Forest, this goliath lives in an expanse of land surrounded by stone walls and harsh magical undergrowth known as the Skyroot Estate. As a devout follower of the deities Quarra and Uhn, he practices his own faith by tending gardens and spending quality time among the local flora and fauna. In the recent months, he has expanded his work into the city of Cinderhaven and thusly has made a name for himself as a stalwart protector of the common folk and an accomplished gardener and landscaper.

Personal history
Born in the mountain town of [REDACTED], Primeheart showed promise with his studies of local flora and fauna, but didn't achieve the martial standard desired by the community. He was gifted the name Primeheart by the chief of his tribe due to not only his tall and lanky stature, but also his ability to identify illnesses and injuries and provide ample care without causing abject stress to his patients.
In the year 1181, a traveling band of priests arrived in the town and, noting the lack of farms and the general diminishing health of the citizens. began to heal the land and teach the people how to tend the earth. This caused a palpable divide among the people, as the culture was based around feats of strength and working metal into armor and weapons, not tilling soil and planting seeds. Primeheart was heavily taken by these devotees and learned their ways.
Not half of a year later, he left with an elven high priest to travel and see the world. His family, never really praising him in the first place, was dismissive of any permissions for him to travel, only stating that they hoped it would toughen him up to the harsh realities of the world. Thus began his lifelong journey that took him throughout the majority of the kingdom, through villages in bogs and ancient ruins teeming with nomadic squatters.
In the year 1182, they were making their stay in the town of Farbrook, tending crops and healing the sick, when disaster struck. A series of roars and heavy crashing echoed from the city nearby and smoke filled the sky. Over the next day, refugees began to make their way into the town, injured and carrying the mortally wounded. Primeheart, along with his mentor and several locals, began to heal who they could and bury who they couldn't. This severely traumatized the young goliath and paved the path of the next nearly two decades of strife and penance.
On their travels thereafter, his mentor did what they could to help and, when Primeheart showed strong signs that he was finally healing from his trauma, eventually departed their own with the knowing that they had instilled important lessons and insights in the youth and that he would flourish wherever he ended up.
Finally being on his own, Primeheart didn't expand his horizons as much as he should have and soon found that the banyan wood near Cinderhaven provided every comfort he came to love without the trouble of closing camp just to stake up a few miles down the road.
Three months before being found by the Phoenix Dawn, he found a niche in gardening for a local tea shop called The Tea Garden run by 'world's tallest halfling', Kurt Brambleknut

Nature should be protected, cherished, and respectfully cultivated to promote the persistence of life. It is our duty to maintain a connection to nature in whatever way possible.
