Eilwyn's origin is unclear. They awoke many centuries ago, waking with a start to the sharp pangs of an arrow piercing their heart. Naked and new to the world, their new life was overwhelming already. As they tried to remove the arrow, they heard the heavy footsteps of a predator. A human. Panicked, they began to tremble until a whisper called to them. Instructing to hide away in the hollow of a tree. Eilwyn obeyed and hid from sight of the hunter, who was tracking down his prey. Tactfully, he tracked down his white stag, but they were gone. They looked and followed the blood trail, leading to the tree where they hid. But, he did not find Eilwyn. Instead, he found only a tree, thick and full. Not hollow. He continued to search and when the coast was clear, they emerged into the daylight and was greeted by the forest.

The forest bestowed upon them the vague understanding of their purpose: to be guardian of the forest. Uncertain of what this role included, Eilwyn lived their existence in total bliss and ignorance. Frolicking through the forest, tending to it's residents. Few travelers have passed through while seeing them. Some friendly and kind, Eilwyn finally having someone to talk to despite their limited vocabulary. But there are others desiring to tear them away from their station, either for access to the forest or for the guardian themself.
