Description

In the foretime before the rise of the Fellrise on the Continent of Adon, Riggenbark was born with the race of Ents by the will of the life goddess, Terra, in Kalonvale. The continent now known as Atlantis had not sunken, and the Ents roamed freely throughout the botanical playground of Terra. His father as the essence of Yggdrasil, Riggenbark was among the original ents harboring the gifts of life within his grasp. Like his brothers, Riggenbark wielded the essence of Terra well, and through the skills of his father he became a powerful prophet. Though his visions of the future were grim, he knew that what must come to pass can only be affected by the whim of the gods.

And so came the sinking of Atlantis, drowning much of the world that Riggenbark had come to know. However he was among the Ents that foresaw the event, and migrated north to Adon, where he would fall into favor with the Dryads and Wood Elves of the new continent. Riggenbark knew that even this world would someday become a hated realm as Atlantis before it, but the clarity of his visions were faded which only meant that the fate of this world would hang on a threads balance. And for ages, he waited to see his visions arise, knowing as before they would come in only the matter of time could accomplish.

However, the human uprising led by Marcus Fellrise gave hope to the Ent, that heroes among such tiny creatures could shape their destiny in ways that he had never imagined. In this sense, Riggenbark was relieved that the fog of his visions was not of apocalypse but of the spirit that these descendants of the ancients held within them. One by one the evils that divided the continent fell to the gambesson of Fellrise, a warchief hero that would challenge the old ways and find new light in the world. Riggenbark was impressed, and became a sage for the eyes of humanity, giving his wisdom to the king of the humans. Riggenbark learned that the spirit of humanity was balanced equally by their immaturity, for Fellrise would be cursed by a very powerful demonic force that not even his slaying ways could keep from haunting him.

And so, the heroes Riggenbark had come to know fell into a shroud of uncertainty as they competed with each other in bloody contest. His wooden soul watched on as they fought, knowing he could not force the hand of fate as the humans had. All he could provide was a vision, never a path. The wars of man drove the woodland kind further away, leaving ages of darkness within communication of nature and man. Riggenbark too migrated again, knowing the curse of the demon would last for as long as he, and that the humans would never lose their greed while he lived. The darkness fell darker as the ages rolled by, sending shivers through the trees and Riggenbark's visions grew even more grotesque as evil would return to the world ten-thousand fold of what Marcus had eliminated.

As hoped seemed lost, Riggenbark still sensed a flickering blur within his sight. That flicker annoyed him, for to Riggenbark the uncertainty of the future clouded his own decisions. He would wait for ages among his herd of trees, awaiting the flicker to fade away, but never did his vision go clear until a sight from his eyes and not his mind showed him the hope he had forsaken. The seraph of legend, even to the ancient of the ents only a legend, its light shown more brightly than Riggenbark could comprehend and it smote the evil of the world in an instant. Fate, it seemed, would never be simple visions, and so Riggenbark made his journey back to the realm of men he had left so long ago and found that they were no longer divided. The evil curse upon them had been lifted but not vanished. The ent of ages past would find a new hero, one who could change fate, and Riggenbark would be their eyes.
