A mysterious figure rumored to dwell within the Whispering Woods, sometimes appearing near Rivenbrook to exchange cryptic warnings or potent herbal remedies.

Unknown to most, the Thorned Druid is actually a wood elf in hiding, having abandoned his past life to protect the forest and those living near it. His deep knowledge of the woods and its hidden dangers allows him to safeguard travelers and defy the dark forces that stir within. While some see him as a protector, others whisper that his connection to the Whispering Woods makes him just as dangerous as the terrors he seeks to contain.
