Appearance
Correl is a spindly Firbolg with long limbs and a slight hunch from years of careful travel through dangerous terrain. His skin is a muted grey-blue, marked with pale white spots across his wide, cow-like nose. His large, fur-lined ears droop slightly but twitch at the faintest noise. He has a short tufted mane around his neck and shoulders, and wears dense patchwork leathers etched with protective runes. His garb bristles with pouches and oddments—glass vials, teeth, dried flora, and carved bone tokens. He speaks in a soft, deliberate tone that gives the impression of deep thought behind each word.
Backstory
Born and raised in Mirehollow, Correl apprenticed under a seasoned Blightbinder who taught him how to navigate and survive the fringes of the Witherwild. Their bond was close—mentor and adopted father in all but name. On a supply run outside the grove’s protection, a malformed beast took his mentor’s life. Correl barely made it back alive, dragging the cloak he now wears in remembrance. Since then, he has become the most traveled resident of Mirehollow, maintaining outer foraging routes and mapping creeping Witherwild shifts. His words carry the weight of lived caution.
