Born among the ancient woodlands of a secluded elven enclave, Appius spent much of his youth studying forgotten lore, celestial movements, and the hidden languages of nature. While other scholars sought knowledge in dusty tomes alone, he found that the forest itself held wisdom older than any library. Under the guidance of druidic mentors, he learned to interpret the songs of birds, the whispers of streams, and the stories carried by the wind. Years of study revealed fragments of a long-lost secret tied to the balance between civilization and the natural world. Determined to uncover the truth, Appius left his homeland to travel the wider world. He now seeks ancient knowledge wherever it can be found, believing that every ruin, creature, and sacred grove may hold a piece of the greater mystery he is destined to solve.
