Hey! Do you have any other parts of Arolin's backstory figured out yet?
So I may have been hoarding this particular ask away for when I had more interesting things to say. And now I do!
I think you’re gonna like this. Arolin is Scottish, it’s why he prefers a rather longer than average kilt or battle skirt as he likes to think of it. He also carries a scarf of his clan tartan on his pack (cooper modern tartan).
Arolin actually has druid training! I’m not saying he is a druid, he isn’t. But he did train with them for over a year before deciding druidic magic just wasn’t for him. But he has fond memories of his druid friends and training. It’s why he has a penchant for green and earthly magic, he especially loves finding the wild plants for his potions.
His favorite spell being of course bringing in to existence a small field of Scottish Thistle (which just happens to be green and purple!) to prick and slow down his enemies or just to enjoy their beauty!
