Wald

The First Kill


overview « appearance « gallery » relationships » credits


The first prey to have fallen to a predator’s hunger, reborn. A prehistoric patron, changing form across the eons. First a small, crawling creature lost to time, then many others, until settling at last into the shape of a fallow deer, now enjoyed for millenia.


Pictogram reads
"Martyr"

Literal pictogram interpretation: person kneeling and praying for mercy.

Wald is the quiet witness to every life claimed in the endless cycle of predator and prey. He is the warm welcome awaiting the fallen, a guide who greets each frightened soul in the Endless Forest. His presence is gentle, his manner unfailingly polite, but there is no spark of urgency or sorrow in him. The tides of life and death have long since worn off his edge. Fear, grief, and hope are just ripples of the primordial sea. He listens, because it is his duty. He comforts, because it is expected. But nothing lingers in him.

Time has dulled the world for Wald. There is nothing left to rush toward, so he is patient. No point in cruelty, so he is kind. These aren’t virtues, but consequences. The stag has seen every plea, every final cry, every wide-eyed terror. None are new. None can touch him anymore. And so, he walks the Endless Forest, a witness of the cycle.

Lovely Bio! I enjoyed reading

Lovely Bio! I enjoyed reading Wald's story and his personality. He is a very kind and gentle soul, like Widmung and Saater.
I believe that Wald and his deer, Phylin and Murai, can help lead the next generation of new players by giving them a warm welcome to this tranquil forest. Casting forest magic spells is one thing, too.
I hope that a kind person like you can befriend new ones who enter this beautiful game. I also hope that we can throw a little forest magic party someday.
Have a good evening, Wald, and I'll see you soon in the Forest! Smiling

Thanks so much, Widmung

Thanks so much, Widmung <3
I hope Wald can become the positive and welcoming presence for all the new deer to arrive to the forest, I'm also quite excited to write up the bios for Phylin and Murai as well! I already have some ideas :]

Your message reminded me to read through Widmung's bio, and man he is such a sweetheart. I love that he's probably one of the more eerie sights in the forest, yet he is a kindest soul to fawns and deer alike. I'm charmed <3

Oh, I thought I commented

Oh, I thought I commented here.. I really like his design, I think the barn owl pelt looks really good but I barely see it around! I wish you could save it on the giant deer so he could be as towering ingame as he is in your mind. Still though, he has a presence of many lifetimes. Can't wait to learn more about him, (and your others)!!

Hello! I apologise for not

Hello! I apologise for not being on the forum for so long. It is an honor to finally write to you. Wald's biography touched my heart. It is incredibly beautiful, sad and full of wisdom. I am very glad that Saater met such a wise creature in the forest. <3
