Taera Catnimble is a Wood Elf master mage of Athel Loren.
Taera is rumoured to be the daughter of Orion and her wild, tempestuous nature certainly does nothing to discredit this theory. With her piercing green eyes and feline grace, some have suggested that she is not a Elf at all, but a nature spirit. As a child she seemed to prefer the company of woodland animals to that of her kinfolk, spending much of her time running wild and free with the great cats that stalk the forest. Perhaps she would have become one of the fabled Wood Elf Beastmasters had she not, from an early age, exhibited an extraordinary aptitude for magic.[1a]
She was not the easiest of pupils as she would rather be out under the trees with her feral playmates than spending hours poring over books, but it might have been her innocent affinity with nature that made her so susceptible to the magic of the forest of Athel Loren. Whatever the reason she has become one of the most formidable young Spellsingers of the leafy realm. She is kinswoman to Elandro, the protector of the Meadow Glades and her skill as a seeress has many times saved him from calamity.[1a]
Wargear[]
- Barleycorn Wand - This staff of woven barley enables the Spellsinger to tap into the veins of the earth and channel feelings of dread to those who would threaten the sanctity of nature.[1b]
- Catseye - This ancient amulet imbues its wearer with a potent second sight. The wizard may use this intuition to warn their allies of impending danger.[1c]
- Shadow - Taera's lifelong animal companion is a black forest panther named Shadow. She reared the ferocious animal from a cub and is the only one who can keep it under control. In battle Shadow runs by her side, a black nightmare of razor sharp fangs and claws, tearing savagely into anyone who would harm his mistress.[1a]
