Harbrite

A druid of the Grey Bear Tribe, knowledgeable about Arla's elder customs and tribal politics and cautious about the collapsing state of inter-tribal relations. He was passing through the Deepwood when he detected the curse on the faerie circle grove, and was trapped inside the stump while attempting to lift it. Once freed he gave extensive lore on the Arla elder system: elders reincarnate ritually and can be hundreds or thousands of years old, the Raven Wing tribe holds the oldest elder, and elders are not formal leaders but carry great de-facto authority. He also reported that Stormcloud, the Grey Bear elder, had left for inter-elder meetings, and that elders have been going missing.
