Jaroo Ashstaff

Jaroo was an old human dedicated to his grove in Hommlet. Jaroo was dedicated to the destruction of evil and he was always ready to help those in need and collects donations for the poor from visitors to his sacred grove. He was cautious, and followed suspicious individuals at a distance to judge their intent. Jaroo followed the Old Faith, a traditional animistic religion common to many druids in the world.

Jaroo made a home in a cottage in Hommlet. It was a low-roofed wooden beneath great oaks located within a well-tended sacred grove. The home contained a cellar where Jaroo stored his treasure. Both of which were destroyed in the Battle of the Ancient Oak which also cost the life of his assistant druid, Yundi.

Personal history

Jaroo Ashstaff, once a revered adviser to kings and queens on matters of the natural world, chose isolation after witnessing the relentless plunder of forests and groves by those he once counselled. He became a legend, the mysterious guardian of a forgotten glade known as Whispering Dell. His life's sorrowful turn was attributed to an event known as the Eclipse of the Emerald Canopy, where his beloved protégé, whom he viewed as a daughter, fell to a sorcerer's curse while defending the heart of the glade. Swearing to protect the remnants of primal nature, Jaroo channels his grief into unwavering vigilance against those who would defile the earth and seeks to foster a new generation of guardians to hold back the tide of darkness threatening the natural world.
