Ceriad Aurgleisiol holds the esteemed title of Arbiter of Balance within the Yllyrii'yn Fungara tribe, known in the common tongue as the "Mycelium Keepers." This tribe is deeply rooted in the mystical Riverwoods, where they nurture and protect the vibrant and magical fungi that flourish in the forest's depths. As skilled herbalists and guardians, they uphold a delicate balance within their territory, maintaining a neutral stance towards both the forest's fauna and outsiders, unless the harmony of the forest is threatened.
Ceriad, an elderly human druid, embodies the wisdom and tranquility of the forest floor he has called home for a lifetime. His deep love for the calm and quiet among the moss and fungi of the Riverwoods is reflected in his serene demeanor and thoughtful actions. Despite his peaceful nature, Ceriad's role often requires him to address serious matters concerning the well-being of the forest and its inhabitants.
As the Arbiter of Balance, Ceriad is tasked with the solemn duty of ensuring that the delicate equilibrium of the Riverwoods is maintained. He serves as a mediator and judge in disputes, both within the tribe and in interactions with external forces. His decisions are guided by a profound understanding of the natural laws and the needs of the forest ecosystem, always striving to uphold the harmony that sustains their way of life.
Ceriad's wisdom and experience made him a key figure in the controversial decision to banish Grimrok Dreadtusk from the tribe. Despite Grimrok's assertions that his dark practices were intended for the tribe's betterment, Ceriad recognized the potential threat they posed to the forest's delicate balance. It was under his guidance that the elders decided to exile Grimrok, a decision made with a heavy heart but necessary to preserve the integrity and safety of the Riverwoods.
