Special Traits

Arcane Scholar. Herald Greenborn has a deep understanding of arcane magic and the multiverse. He has advantage on Arcana checks and Intelligence (Arcana) checks.

Ethereal Presence. Herald's connection to the arcane has made him somewhat ethereal. Attacks against him have disadvantage, and he has resistance to damage from non-magical attacks.

Remote Wisdom. Herald's scholarly pursuits have made him somewhat remote from the practical running of the city. While he may not involve himself directly in governing, his presence lends a sense of stability to the city, and he still provides guidance on matters of great importance.

Personality Traits Herald Greenborn is ethereal and scholarly, deeply engrossed in his arcane pursuits. Some say he has become remote from the practical running of the city.

Ideal Knowledge: Herald values the pursuit of arcane wisdom above all else and believes in the importance of understanding the mysteries of the multiverse.

Bond Herald is deeply bonded to the city of Treetower, even if he is somewhat distant from its governance. He sees his role as king as a protector of elven culture and knowledge.

Flaw Herald's remoteness from the practicalities of ruling can sometimes make him appear disinterested in the daily affairs of the city, leaving the administrative burden to others.
