5th Edition: Druid's Lament

A few decades gone a young half-elf woman named Aspasia ventured into the Minnimar. Born to her elven mother and raised among the fey folk, Aspasia had love and respect for the sylvan land. Her grandmother had lived in the Minya Mare’ centuries before and Aspasia traveled here to again reconnect with her ancestral home.

So it was for a great while and she lived in peace. She spoke to the wild like no other and traveled with a stag who bore a crown of horns.

But in time, men came and they built homes as men do and for their homes they cut trees. And they feasted as men do and for their feasts they hunted the wild game. Thus it was that Aspasia found the men one eve feasting upon the Stag and she cursed themand she called on the forest gods to bring death and ruin.

And thus it was for the wood’s ancient powers rose to her druidic call, but as it always is, the gods can be unpredictable.
