HISTORY

The past of the warrior known as Druil is unknown, though he was apparently among a group that left Avalorr to settle new lands. This happened so far in the past that the group slipped from memory until their settlement was rediscovered by the thunder god Taranis and his companion, Boden the Blind.

As chieftain of the settlement called Tine, Druil and his forces had been engaged in a lengthy battle with a rival chieftain named Cyngar the Brutal over possession of the enchanted Golden Bow. Their conflicts had often ended in stalemates until Taranis and Boden helped Tine achieve a decisive victory, including the apparent death of Cyngar.

Following these events, Druil’s daughter, Dara, left Tine to act as ambassador to Avalorr, reestablishing long-lost ties to their homeland. Druil remained behind to continue serving as the leader of Tine.

POWERS & ABILITIES

As a member of the Gods of Avalorr, Druil possesses all the normal attributes of a male member of his race, though his strength is greater than average. While the average male Celtic god can lift approximately 50 tons, Druil can lift approximately 65 tons. He is also a charismatic and compassionate leader, well loved by the people of Tine.

WEAPONS & PARAPHERNALIA

Druil wields the Golden Bow, an enchanted weapon that only he and his daughter, Dara, are able to lift and draw. When loosed, its arrows can strike a target as far as 400 meters away without fail, impacting with the full force of the draw and suffering no loss of kinetic energy over the distance traveled. He also carries a sword constructed from a metal native to Otherworld.
