Eldenwyrm "Kindred" Cacodos

Eldenwyrm "Kindred" Cacodos

Master Ranger of the Cacodos clan in the Spiteferns.

The village of Caelora was plagued by the ancient beast Kaylkrek, which terrorized its people. This massive, ancient owlbear rampaged through the area, destroying homes and murdering scores of villagers. Due to the hunters being terrified of Kaylkrek, Eldenwyrm took on the task of hunting the beast. After weeks of tracking, he found the den and lay in wait for a opportune time to strike. He hid for days in the dense canopy of the jungle. Finally, the beast appeared, covered in blood. Eldenwyrm knew this was his chance, and he unleashed a deadly salvo of arrows upon the owlbear. It turned and let out an otherworldly howl that nearly broke Eldenwyrm's resolve, but he stood firm. White a massive swipe, the owlbear tore down the surrounding trees, throwing Eldenwyrm to the dense jungle foliage below. There they battled for what felt like hours. With his stamina nearly running out, Eldenwyrm threw himself at the beast, stabbing it feverishly. Near its heart, he saw one of his ironwood arrows, so he clambered up the side of the beast and forced all of his weight onto the arrow. A fountain of blood drenched Eldenwyrm, and fell to the ground with the creature as it left forth one last guttural howl. Severely wounded and scarred Eldenwyrm, began dismantling the beast and carried its remains back towards his tribal home. His wounds proved to be too much, however, and he fell to the ground. A hunting party from Caelora found him and carried him back to the village where his people nursed him back to health. He awoke to the Tribe Leader, Calvoth "Greenbranch" Cacodos, who gave Eldenwyrm the nickname "Kindred" or "Friend of the Forest" as well as making him the Master Ranger of the Cacodos clan. Kindred made a bow with the parts of the Ancient Owlbear which he named "Beastbane" and was blessed by Greenbranch. With this grand trial completed, he became the Hero of the Wild Elves. Numerous years have passed since, Kindred protecting and providing for his people since.
