Wandering Winterwood

The Wandering Winterwood is a knight and mage of Plort.

The Tale of the Wandering Winterwood
The Wandering Winterwood journeys ceaselessly, starting from the domain of Fixionarly where she learnt the magical arts from the Lady Cassandra. In time, she sought to be greater (and more true to the deity Kanun) than her mentor and the denizens of Fixionarly, and left.

For a time she dwelt in Fanvik-Neht, where she heard of the gospel of Cam and the military camp Ofum. Migrating to El-Jhey, she discovered Cam in hiding there, and befriended her. From thereon her magic was inspired by the once-fearsome Cam, and through her new mentor she first heard legends of the lands of Plort.

The Wandering Winterwood arrived in Borrd, eager to find new mentors, to continue learning and refining her magic. Alas, her spells were hasty and immature, and she had not yet gained enough experience to ward off the ever present threat of spells from Marizu, and unwittingly fell under their enchantments even in the safety of Borrd.

Ashamed, the Wandering Winterwood left in the dead of night, wandering to other corners of the realm. Whispers of her presence in the lands of Are-Pea and Fanvik-Neht travelled in the wind and through the woods, sometimes reaching Plort, sometimes not. It was only until she had crafted her own military training camps in the fashion of Cam that she fully returned to Plort, armed with new purpose and new domains to protect -- those of Hitalya, Sureloch, and Doktaru, amid others.

With her return, the Wandering Winterwood took up residence in the town of Tumblar, a liberal-minded port town with trading connections to all the different lands, though she maintains land won through her numerous connections in Tumblar in Ayohtree, a land where few denizens of Marizu have taken root. She alternates between slaying the evils of Marizu, crafting her own spells (oft with her companion Intell), and training the next generation of the defenders of Plort.

She and her companion were both knighted by the Barons of Plort, and have fought in the raids of Marizu side-by-side. They are nigh inseparable; like how Achilles has Patroclus, how Alexander the Great has Hephaestion, how Captain Kirk has Spock, how Sherlock Holmes has Watson, such is the bond shared between the Winterwood and Intell. Intell is a former page from the military camps that Winterwood created.

Nowadays the two alternate between raids and their own spellcasting, when the Winterwood is not restoring the glories of some of the relics of the olden days of Plort.
