Children Garruk

Raklan was Garruk's father, a taskmage and farmer. The name of their homeplane is unknown.

Description

Raklan was tall, with brown hair tied up in a knot. He wore simple farmer's clothes.

History

Raklan taught his young son Garruk how to grow plants using taskmage magic, an ability he calls "seedsprouting". He also could lock an amulet with one-way communication across long distances, which he initially used to communicate with his farmhands. When Lord Faldus' men showed up to recruit the young Garruk to the army, Raklan refused to give him up, ordering Garruk to run into the woods. Raklan was arrested by the sheriff, but with the amulet, Raklan could communicate with Garruk from his prison. While Garruk survived the ordeal of living in the forest, Raklan was tortured by the Sheriff and was eventually killed. Garruk would avenge his death years later by having one of his beasts impale the Sheriff on its horn.
