The Oaken Duke

By:

The kingdom of Shyvora is known for its inclusion of non-humans.  One of their best fighting Dukes is a tree…

Appearance Appearing as a 7’ tall humanoid Oak Tree, the duke has a thick trunk and powerful limbs and ‘legs’.  His crown is heavily leaved and his trunk is girded by thick bronze plates.  Where his bark is visible, many scars mark the surface.

Special Equipment The Duke bears custom-made bronze armor made from him by his grateful human liege.  It is naturally corrosion resistent and very thick. For weapons, he generally uses two large axes, or a shield and axe.

History

Known among the Dwarven Treeherds by the name of Broadtrunk, this exceptional individual showed great aptitude toward military tactics and led his 1st Warden Regiment to several key victories against Shyvora’s enemies.  Taking advantage of their ability to blend into the forest and use the trees themselves as scouts, they were able to route units much larger then their own.

Roleplaying Notes

The Duke is quite intelligent - being moreso then most humans, and has a force of personality strong enough to inspire even human troops. If anything, the Duke’s confidence is also his greatest weakness.  He is smart, but tends to dismiss the intelligence of his opponents, a flaw which might lead to this peerless warrior finally failing.

Arune Spheres Arune Spheres are hollow, blue reflective metallic spheres about 25 cm/ 10" in diameter (though some are larger). They are made of a thickish glass mirrored on the inside. When magical energies are flowed through the sphere, it produces a haunting tone, which can be varied by the type, intensity, and harmonics of energies passed through it. (It sounds like an electronic organ.) If multiple energy flows are generated, multiple sounds can be generated, some of which sound like mundane instruments. Masters of The Craft can replicate almost any sound in their memory with one. Though originally used as a training tools for those with The Power, it has been adapted to be a musical instrument. All it takes is someone with patience, medative training, and a touch of the Power, to use it. (Thus becoming the favorite instrument of anyone who was tested to the first level of the Craft, but failed to advance).
