Eric
The Oracle
The messenger of the high ridges, carrying the secrets of the dead to the ears of the living.
The Sentinel
The pulse of the meadow, the quiet observer of the gathering storm
The Outcast
The lonely spirit of the fringe, the shadow that was cast out of the Blue Mist.
The Witness
The eyes that never close; the keeper of the midnight gospel.
The Ghost of the Balsams
"Stone-Clad" elder of the high clouds; the keeper of the lost path.
The Arbiter
The unyielding force of the thicket, the judge of the deep woods who yields to nothing.
The Copperhead King
The architect of the mountain floor.
The Bloodline
The memory of the labor that broke the land; the phantom of the old-time plow.
The Titan
The crowned king of the timber; the living altar of the forest.
The Kudzu Ghost
The Kudzu Ghost is the manifestation of nature's persistence. It represents the divine irony that even when man attempts to destroy the wild, the wild find a way to haunt the edges.
