You grew up or spent many of your formative years in the lush, living town of Verdant Hollow, where druids walk alongside rangers, and nature is as much a teacher as any person. The forest called to you — its ancient canopies, whispering winds, and emerald depths taught you survival, harmony, and caution. You know the old trails, the rare herbs, and the places where the balance of life teeters. Perhaps you are a botanist seeking knowledge, a defender of the land, or someone chasing a deeper connection with the world that once belonged to Titans.
