Olwen Forest-Friend
A hearty outdoorsman with a bushy black beard and a laugh that shakes the walls of inns, Olwen Forest-friend wandered into Damara at the kingdom's darkest hour and helped bring back the light.
Olwen was no stranger to battling evil wizards when he joined up with Gareth and the others. He had lost all his followers in a desperate battle to save the race of treants and had taken to the road alone and despondent. But sorrow could not bow down this boisterous ranger for long. Tidings of evil days in Damara brought new fire to his deep-set eyes.
Olwen always remained in the background of the exploits of Gareth and company, but they acknowledge his value as the solid anchor to the group. Presently, Olwen leads a large contingent of the Bloodstone army on its rescue mission through the last Vaasan strongholds in northern Soravia. The ranger makes friends wherever he goes, particularly among the children of these war-torn villages. He presents a very positive image in Soravia, an example of what the new Kingdom of Bloodstone might have to offer. There are even rumors that Gareth would name Olwen the next Duke of Soravia,
His favorite battle tactic is to run all around his enemies, hiding in optimum positions and raining destruction upon them from afar. From the treants he rescued, Olwen learned the secret of creating magical arrows, even arrows of slaying, so he is particularly deadly in this type of guerilla warfare.
His current exploits are not quite enough to engage all his attention. Olwen hopes that he will meet up with Hurl and Burl and Rangers Three (the Thunkers of the Thunkers) before they engage in their climactic battle with the rampaging band of stone giants known as the Thunkers.
