Bloom Shining Upon Summit strives to know his limits. He gave himself the nickname "Sums" as a reminder of his troubles with mathematics.
Sums manifested as a familiar, serving an order of monks and druids seeking to promote sustainable farming – a project which proved immensely profitable. Nowhere were the adherents of the Green Faith and the followers of Abadar on better terms. This did not mean the elders always agreed on a path forward, but Sums fervently believed one could be found.
But his order were diplomats first and warriors second, while Sums’ attempts at winning friends rarely went well. Once, Sums came across a wizard tormenting his familiar and immediately resorted to force – only to later learn the wizard was a nobleman’s son.
Sums eventually realized he was hurting the cause, not aiding it.
Beyond the portal, though, was a world where the mistakes had not yet been made. A world where there might be others, working to find a balance between the cities and the wild… others who might need a warrior at their side.
