Limos
He spent most of
his youth learning the druid practices of his grandmother Ethel, His Father always found himself
traveling in the favor of the Grove leader. So Grandmother Ethel was his main caregiver. Limos
never met his mother due to giving herself to nature when he was very young. His grandmother
would always tell Limos stories of the grove, and also many tales she had been on in her youth;
Stories of the god of abundance the contribution the deity blessed the grove with. “‘Their plants
have been dug up, trees burned or chopped down, water sources fouled, or standing stones overturned
and broken. Perhaps their clearings once served as altars to other priests in the worship of strange gods.
Such groves have been defiled, stripped of all their powers until druids reclaim them”. Ethel claimed this
was called Armongaden and it would happen if the people of the grove gave up on it.
Limo's friends would also hear these stories from his grandmother, and would just think she's a
crazy old lady. He has three best friends who were learning the druidic ways just as he was, and
they were fast learners just like Limos. Titus is a charismatic wood elf who loves to show off his
capabilities any chance he gets. Him and Limos knew each other the longest starting off as a bit
of a rivalry but then realized they have more in common than they thought. Gemini a Forest
Gnome kinda rough but a soft spot for her friends also for her being a small figure she still
seems to be bigger than everyone else. Then there was Kelon Scruffyhair or just Scruffy a
Satyr that was a bit unpredictable that got the troop in more trouble than asked. Limos loved his
friends and they all pushed each other.
In their early teenage years around 13-15 they built a reputation as strong Druid warriors for
their grove. They would go off on small adventures like dungeons, pick up jobs at the local guild
from their neighboring town. Limos however has been getting alot of popularity within the grove,
with his help of creating a scrying pool for the grove where people can keep track of their loved
ones while they’re away. He had an idea that if he kept casting the spell Druid Grove in the
same location every day that the effect of “Druid Grove” would be permanent. He wanted to
make sure his grove was more defensive as the grove grew. Just after 4 years of taking on a
bigger role in the grove Limos was promoted to a High Druid at the age of 17.
During his Celebration to a High Druid, Limos was in for a surprise as he received his praise, A
tall silhouette begins to approach. He then sees a Man with Brown short hair, a mustache with
sideburns and shoulders wide as a barn door. His Father Oli, All Limos could do is shed a small
tear and hug his father which he feels like he's 6 all over again. Nothing in that space matters
while he's in his father's arms. He hasn't seen his father in a while so him being at the ceremony
was the best gift he can have, they spent hours trading stories. His father told him what's going
on in other continents to look out for, and to check out. His Friends come to crash heart to heart
to retrieve Limos so the fun can resume. The celebration lasted for another 7 hours.
After being appointed a High Druid, Limos got straight to work. He aided the Leader in meetings
with other druid groves, and cities. The Circle of Hope is relatively new, being only a Circle for a
total of 25 years. Their highest rank ever has been the current leader Arch Druid Diviciacus.
Under him, He only promoted 42 Druids to High Druid in his rule, Limos being the latest one.
High Druids then take 10 Druids under their command who work directly under them. Limos
immediately chooses his 3 best friends; it was just them for the first 6 months. After an
excavation of Limos and his friends saving what they didn't know at the time a prince and his
two sentinels. Gained Nobility from his kingdom gold and items as well. After the short success
members of the grove wanted to join under his command. Limos however only accepted 4 new
people. He wanted to keep his command with people who wanted to do the right thing for the
right reasons, and not join for success. With the 4th techanal member being Freya, a 22 year
old Human Female who was actually in a relationship with Titus, and he convinced her to join
under Limos Command. Once Freya Joined She got her Twin sister Hela to join who is a
powerful druid in her own right she even pushed Limos to fight seriously during a bout to test
her strength. The 6th member being Faelynn which no one really knows much about she didn't
grow up in the grove like the rest of the members she was actually brought back by Oli 6
months ago after her village was raided. She has other means of using magic but was taught
the way of the Circle. Kano, the youngest of the group a dragonborn, He’s quiet and timid but
there is a lot of fire in the dragonborns eyes, Limos sees himself in him so he decided to give
him a shot.
Limos gained property from the Kingdom; he immediately decorated the house, and property in
his circle aesthetic. The land had its own butler and maids to keep the area tidy when Limos
was gone. The King of the kingdom wanted to be allied with the Circle legally so he offered his
son for marriage. Diviciacus offered his daughter, and the allyship between the kingdom and
The Circle of Hope was formed. Limos spends a lot of time in the city helping out where he can
also be an ambassador for the Circle. 2 years have passed since Limos promotion and the
allyship. Limos with that allyship and nobility attend a bunch of gatherings, and balls with other
lands in attendance building rapport. Another task Limos had was keeping a close eye on
Diviciacus Daughter. As for his Team he appointed Titus as his right hand to take lead of the
troop while he was away. Kano however never leaves Limos’ side he learns directly under him
that's what he tells him but he doesn't want Scruffy and Kano alone together (mayhem
everytime). One day Limos led a party into this frost dungeon. This has been the furthest he has
ever traveled from the grove but his father sent him a message telling him about this place, and
Limos couldn't miss this opportunity to raid a dungeon with his father. Limos has been putting a
lot of work in for the grove, really no time for self enjoyment so he took this opportunity and
pulled some strings for himself, Kano and 3 others out the adventures guild to set off.
The trip to the frozen tundra for Limos and his group was a bit harsh to say the least but they
met up with his father after a 2 and a half week journey. Oli gives Limos the breakdown of the
entrance of the dungeon, Oli is accompanied by 3 of his own troops; they have one night's rest
before going in. Their sleep was interrupted by a pack of wolves; they fended them off with no
issue, and decided to just pack up camp to enter the dungeon. The group went through a multi
layer dungeon that gave them a fair challenge however With Limos and his father in charge the
group was able to clear the dungeon gaining gold and loot, and a Bonding experience they can
talk about forever. Limos and his father parted ways, Limos knew it was only for the dungeon
quest but he is still sad that it has come to an end. In the cave they found a staff of teleportation,
so instead of a 2 week journey Limos and the group were instantly transported to the grove.
However to their surprise it seems that there was a battle within the grove. Fire rages around
the trees, people screaming all around chaos all around The circle of hope. Limos does
however see one of the other high druids, he stops him and asks the druid Kalsin what's going
on, Kalsin patting explains to Limos that they are under attack by bandits. Limos immediately
springs into action; he tells Kano to use the Staff, and go to the Kingdom to tell them what's
going on in the grove for help. Limos Finds his group in the Main hall in a standoff with one
entity . It seems as if the grove was attacked by two fronts and the culprits were not just regular
bandits, As Faelynn Stabs Gemini and teleports right next to the masked individual. The
masked figure says “we got what we came for lets go” and as they began to teleport out. Limos
unleashed a sunburst as they disappeared burning them but they still got away. Scruffy tries to
heal Gem but it seems like healing isn't effective, Limos yells sacred pool NOW! They place her
in the pool but to no avail the pool is dull as if it lost its power. Titus sighs in realization that
they stole the Circles idol that grants the grove its power. Limos in a rage goes out the hall, and
the remaining enemies that don't know their leader and faelynn leave. He hits them with a
feeblemind into a reverse Gravity killing all the enemies inna blinding rage.
Reinforcements came but it was too late, It seems Faelynn cut off communication from the
Circle, and timing the attack while Limos was gone. Limos and the circle was betrayed. With
their grove losing a huge portion of their power. A month went by and the grove is still picking
up the pieces, with the help of the kingdom they're managing fine but it is all gloom within the
grove. There is a meeting going on between all the High Druids with the ArchDruid. Even Oli
was there he was called back after what happened. The druids were on edge being around Oli
as he was the one who brought Faelyn to the Circle. Oli rensured his people he had no idea,
and he was betrayed just like everyone else, He recalls the memory of what happened at the
village. How she seemed helpless with tears down her face calling a name as if they were dead.
He begs for forgiveness, As the Arch Druid Divi raised his hand and said no need for an apology
as he believes him, and the rest of the druids should forgive him as we all could have been in
his shoes. Arch Divi then says the circle won't last much longer even with the help of the
kingdoms with that being said he believes there is a way for the circle to grow again. Arch Divi
goes on by saying how they all know the “Arch Druid'' title isn't the highest rank a druid can
reach in a circle. He believes in one candidate who can reach those heights. Divi then asks for
Limos to rise, He tells them a change is in order,and that order starts with Him. “Limos, you
have been summoned to the Ancient Order of Druids. (Which is the oldest Circle around) Divi
continues to say “There you will read,learn,fight and grow to be a Grand Druid for your people
and restore what we have lost. The order heard my claims and recognizes you as the one true
leader of the Circle of Hope. Limos Stonewall, Son of Oli Stonewall, do you accept this
summons ?” All Limos says is he accepts. Limos says his goodbye to his friends, Father, and
his sweet ol grandma who wouldn't let him go. With all the goodbyes in order, Limos sat out for
his Journey to the Acienent Order.
Limos finds himself gazing upon the night sky, he glances over to his right, and towards that
way there is a blonde long haired Eleven Man who seems tall, and dressed in fine garments.
The man says “so tomorrow you're leaving? “ Limos just says yes he looks away again up to
the sky and mentions how it's been 4 and half years. Limos continues by saying the man's
name “Roric”
And saying how Roric can always come. Roric brushes it off by just saying that Limos knows
that's impossible. All Limos say is “Fair”, and just rest his head on and just rest his head on
Roric’s shoulders. The next morning Limos finds himself in a hall he's familiar with surrounded
by the Acient Order. “Limos Stonewall 4 years ago you answered the call to come to our Circle
and learned under us, and became a Grand Druid. With the knowledge you have learned and
obtained we deem you ready to set back to the Circle of hope. Limos bows and says how it's
been a pleasure to serve under the order for these years. With that Limos opens up a tree gives
Roric a wink as a few Folk stand by as he leaves but he holds Roric gaze before heading in to
paint one last picture of his first true love.
On the other side of the teleport Limos sees the familiar place where he shared many
memories, good and bad. He let out a huge sniff to smell the aroma of The circle, He then felt
something tugging onto his leg. He sees two children, one whose eyes are covered with orange
hair, and the other that looks like a spitting image of Freya. He can only assume His friends had
children. Limos hears a Huge “YOOO” As he turns around and sees Titus and Scruffy. He
greeted them with a hug. It feels like the boys are back like they never left reunion was cut short
as business has to be handled due to Limos returning. Limos asked his friends to gather
everyone for him in the meantime he wants to go see his granny. Titus and Scruffy both agreed,
Limos headed to his grandmother's abode where he sees his father as well Taller than Oli now
they embrace each other. Limos begins to tell them about his experiences, and also tells them
about Roric. He wants to tell them everything but he wants everyone to hear so Limos leads
them to the square where he and his friends agreed for him to hold the meeting. During this
meeting Limos produces a new Idol for the Grove. As the New Leader of the Circle of Hope the
Idol glows a light emerald hue and leaves Limos and it begins to hover over the center of the
square. The shine brings vines that come out of the ground and a large rock forms to hold the
Idol. As everyone cheers at the corner he sees his grandma tearing but Limos raises his hands
and says he isn't done; He begins talking about his time spent in particular his adventure to a
different realm where he found a scroll that contains magic that can help Their grove flourish to
even new heights. Few people in the crowd are a bit indifferent to this new knowledge but for
the most part people are cheering.
Limos calms them down again and starts to explain how he loves his people and only thinks of
progressing them. He takes out the scroll, to show them the golden hue it has. Limos continues
to say “ The people that I have met inside the order believe in this magic, and I believe in them.
For 4 years they trained me under them to be a perfect leader for The circle of hope. So my
people please believe in me.” With that everyone puts their hands up as acknowledgement.
Limos then begins the incantation as he was taught by a few elders from the Ancient Order. As
he mutters the words, Aura flows from the scroll and goes around people, They get a cool
breeze and a fresh aroma. It feels like this Golden aura isn't just healing the land but also the
people. The tree grass,water and even soil have a rich light hue to them. After about 15 minutes
Limos opens his eyes and tells his people the new age their grove has begun. He then gestures
to his folks to see the brown soil that feels pure, and tells them it starts with this. The first crop
grows, and after the first one more begins to grow and they’re perfectly ripe. “TODAY WE
FEAST, TOMORROW WE GROW”.
2 months have gone by since the Return of Limos, and the circle has been great in terms of
spirit & morale. Limos is seen sitting in his chamber every week he holds a day where the
people of the circle come and tell Limos how they're doing, and if they need something it's
granted there. During the later half of the session a lady comes running to the chamber yelling
and crying hysterically carrying her child. The child has foaming running down her mouth. The
child was taken and looked after. Druid doctors did all they could for the child but unfortunately
the child didn't make it. This was the first case.
Over the course of 3 weeks other cases of people dying with the same symptoms as the child
begin rapidly .The bodies started to pile up and about 86% of the grove to that point has died.
Limos put guards around the crop soil, water pounds and all the access to food has been
blocked off. Through all the deaths the examination of the dead bodies all had an unknown
substance, and it was all located in the veins, which caused clotting, shutting down various
organs in the deceased. No signs of it being contagious. One Thing Oli tells Limos is this could
be happening all over the world, and don't let it get to him. Butt Limos begins to mutter words
that are familiar to Oli. ‘Their plants have been dug up, trees burned or chopped down, water
sources fouled, or standing stones overturned and broken. Perhaps their clearings once served
as altars to other priests in the worship of strange gods. Such groves have been defiled,
stripped of all their powers until druids reclaim them” Oli asks why is he quoting granny. With
tears in his eyes Limos says “Armogaded has begun and it's his fault”. The idol is red and
loses its light emerald hue… The Soil turns black, and the tree leaves begin to fall, The water
turns yellow The circle of hope once again loses its hope.
* Over 58% kingdoms' initial population died, but as the days and weeks went on. These people
grew hungry due to all the food going bad nearby lakes being undrinkable. Kingdoms send out
class orders of famine for help but no help arrives as all the nearby kingdoms share the same
fate. *
Limos is in a chamber with granny, Oli, Titus, The twins and Scruffy(with their children).... “I
failed you all, and I'm sorry.” He begins to show his family black veins that begin to form around
his arms that seem like it's traveling upwards. Limos goes on “ Looks like i'll be meeting with all
the fallen today. As the Grand Druid it's only fitting. But you all seem fine please. I need one last
favor, The grove is over but the will lives in all of you don't let the hope die. Please my family
leave this area with the remaining few folk, and start anew.” They try to cut him off by telling him
they're not leaving him but he yells. “ NO. There is nothing here that's fine as long as you all live
so does the circle so you can be anywhere in this world so will The circle of Hope.” In his final
moments with his family he grants His father as the Arch Druid, and as his family says goodbye
to Limos gets a vision to when he was younger about the simpler times what he would do if he
was in charge but all that comes crumbling down because he was a bit too greedy. Outside of
the grove neighboring kingdoms have also been affected by this due to their allyship with Limos
and benefiting from the same rewards.
Limos sits there alone awaiting for his timely death everything goes black then a bright white
flashes and then after Limos sees a figure that towers over him at one point but then up close at
the same time.” Limos fitting huh? A name for the man who causes thousands to die of
starvation and more as we stand here hmm”.
