Backstory[]

The Primalist spent his life in service to his tribe, one of the many that dwelt in the frozen north of Heoborea. His tribe was one of the larger ones, matched only by a few other of the tribes yet they lived peacefully, never clashing with their neighbors over the position of being Heorot’s chosen. Their peacefulness would be their downfall as that made them a target for Rahyeh’s first strikes against the other gods.

The Primalist was unprepared that day, woken in the night by the fires and screams as Rahyeh’s forces descended from the sky. In the chaos, he tried to find his family but only finding ash. The call rang out from the chieftain to fall back to the center of Heoborea of where Heorot and the chosen tribe dwelled, and where all the tribes would congregate once news of the attack spread. The Primalist did not heed this call. Instead, he fled south, away from the fires, away from the death, away from his home.

He now travels towards the Temple of Eterra, in hopes of finding an understanding of how the mother goddess could allow such chaos in the world and such weakness in himself. He never saw himself as a fighter. He was but a simple medicine man who found peace in the loyalty of his animal companions, the serenity of nature, and the power of the storm. Now though, he is determined to harness his strength and unleash his fury.
