The Vessel

Formerly of the Root Druids, The Vessel is a solo Druid living in Brün. They have a very intense connection with the land and with decomposers in general. They spend their days focusing on surviving, playing their hurdy gurdy and singing, and communing with their dieties.

The Vessel was raised with the Root Druids in Rot Root and fully a part of their lifestyle. He got along well with their tribe, and did well in their studies. When they came of age, they were chosen as a sacrifice for their gods. Although their teachings told that this was a very high honor, and that death is a completely normal part of life, Ves feared a death "before they truly got to live". In a desperate act that ended in dishonour and their exile, Ves ran from their tribe and now lives solo within the forest. Whenever they are asked about why they left their tribe, they are very defensive and will deflect with humor - never answering with the same joke twice.

Ves now idly imagines going and visiting their ancestral people - other shifters - to learn more about their bloodline.
