History: Solana was born into a poor family of farmers. Her parents already had four other children and couldn’t afford to take care of a fifth. Her father decided it would be best if she didn’t have to live a life of starvation and sadness so he left her out in the middle of the woods. Her cries of hunger and sadness attracted predators. However, they also attracted an elf druid named Mytheris. He picked her up and from that moment on he was attached to the child.
Mytheris raised Solana as his own; he taught her everything he knew about being a druid. Her true training began when she was eight. He left her in the middle of the woods and told her she had to put her faith in nature to find her way back home. Solana had learned to listen to nature and hear what the trees were saying. She let Mother Nature be her guide and followed the flow of the wind. When she arrived home Mytheris knew she was ready to become a druid.
At 14 she was allowed to learn how to use the magic of wild shape. She spent months stalking eagles, wolves, and mountain lions. She learned everything about them and what made each of them special. It took time but eventually she was able to take the shape of the animals and walk among them as an equal.
When she was 16 she learned how to cast her first ritual spell. She performed a dance as her ritual and from her dance a storm was summoned. Rain poured down to the ground and lightning cracked across the sky. It was from this ritual that Solana got her name “Stormcaller”.
Solana eventually left her adoptive father. She decided it was time for her to leave the nest and find her own place in the world. She now travels as a nomad looking for a calling.
