Since days lost in the antiquity of the forest, shifters and their lycanthrope ancestors have moved through the wilds of Eberron with an ease and instinct unrivaled by the other civilized races. Known for their mastery of the untamed world, some shifters rise above others in woodslore, physical ability, and stamina to claim the revered mantle of the reachrunner—the greatest of shifter trackers and scouts.
Mallai Swiftstep is a young reachrunner who just earned the distinguished title. He normally roams the wilds of the Eldeen Reaches in the company of an Ashbound human druid.
Mallai works best, however, as a solo encounter, ambushing the player characters before fading back into the forest.
