If you're around the forests long enough, you'll be prone to run all the trees begin to look alike and the bears too. Those of the Druid or Ranger set of abilities can transform themselves to appear as "An ancient tree" or as "an enormous black bear" which can lead to confusion if you know more than one.
For the younger set (who may not know), the gods have the ability to bestow special honours upon worthy members of the professions who stand out by granting them unique identities within the forest, solely for that individual. This practice has since become slightly more common but the effect is the same. It also makes for interesting roleplay, both the honours itself and incorporating identities (and backgrounds) into a character. This seemed like something fun to add to the forums and if you know of anyone who qualifies, post please!!
Elmak, I know I have at least one contributant with you already.
Does anyone remember what Lilandrin looked like? How about Nivea or Dhonuill? Post for the benefit of all! Here's mine to start off with...
Look:
Rooted nearby is a rowan tree burgeoning with creamy-white flowers.Ex maud (a graceful rowan tree):
The stately Summerisle rowan stands before you, plush and austere. Leaves flow from its branches as a monarch deigns to tip his crown, branches curl to embrace - but with reserve. Its facade of milky white flowers, its woody and emerald exterior, are all but a shadow of its character. From it comes a smell of earthy purity, so sweet yet bitter; it is the scent of aged wisdom. Yet its inevitable betrayal will come when lusty crimson berries sprout forth with the next twist of seasons. Harsh weather is its mentor and on its bark and oblongated leaves are the experience it teaches silently. Enigmatic and enduring, the rowan is renowned for its protective character amongst those who know its altruistic nature.
