Erevan Swiftbrook is a seasoned wood elf trapper and expert outdoorsman who has made his home on the outskirts of Newhaven. His house, known as Trapper's House, serves as both his residence and workshop, where he crafts snares, tends to pelts, and maintains his gear. He is well-known in Newhaven for supplying high-quality furs and expertly crafted traps, yet he prefers the solitude of the wilderness over the company of townsfolk. Raised among the deep forests of the Vale, Erevan developed an affinity for nature at an early age. He was mentored by an older elven hunter who taught him how to track, trap, and live in harmony with the land. He believes in a balance between taking from nature and giving back, ensuring that his work does not harm the ecosystem. Though he is quiet and reserved, Erevan has a sharp wit and a deep appreciation for those who respect the wilds. He dislikes senseless destruction and has little patience for those who take from the land without care. While he is a valuable supplier for Newhaven's traders, he is wary of expanding settlements encroaching too deeply into the forest. Erevan generally speaks in measured tones, often pausing before answering. He dislikes large crowds and prefers working alone and finds solace in nature and enjoys watching wildlife in silence. He has a habit of whittling small animal figures from wood when deep in thought and favors practical, well-made gear and despises unnecessary ornamentation. Erevan is deeply knowledgeable about plants, animal behavior, and survival techniques. He prefers to resolve disputes with reason but will defend himself fiercely if necessary. He always tries to maintain the balance of the wilderness while continuing his trade and is an advocate for responsible hunting and trapping. He wants to train an apprentice to pass on his knowledge before he grows too old. He has sworn to protect the sacred groves and wildlife of the Vale from reckless poachers. |
