📚 Backstory 📚
Childhood: N/A
Adolescence: N/A
Young Adulthood: Awoke from The Dream. He partook in the war on Zhaitan as well as the war on Mordremoth. He lost many good friends, and the stress of war was too much for him, shortly after Mordremoth was defeated he left The Pact and began his life as a wanderer.
Adulthood: In his wanderings he helped many people and made many new friends. One day he returned to The Grove after hearing more Sylvari were going to be emerging, and he was thrilled for the opportunity to mentor some saplings. It was there that he met Jishore, a very timid curious sapling. While he helped to teach and guide most of the saplings that emerged that day, Jishore had the most questions and seemed to need the most help, which Trumbus was more than happy to provide. Once the time came for Trumbus to return to his travels, Jishore requested to join him and Trumbus giddily accepted.
Present Day: Trumbus and Jishore travel together, lending a hand and solving problems wherever they go. The two have gotten closer over time and treat each other as family.
