Estin, an elf, is a master craftsman, specializing in woodworking.
Social Status: Renowned woodworker. He also served as a Diplomat for several years, where he mediated between elves, dwarves, and men. He served with distinction as Captain of the Forest Guard.
Profession: Master Wood worker. Crafts bows, whistles, furniture, and basically anything else using hand tools. He also crafted his Ama Handasse himself.
Combat Speciality: Ranger. Though Estin is a wood worker, he is not unskilled with his rapier, nor is he unskilled with his bow.
Unique Skills: Besides his natural affinity with wood, Estin is able to ‘imbue’ the wood items that he crafts with special abilities. For instance, his arrows are stronger than normal arrows, strike with more accuracy, and are able to penetrate thicker armor. His bows never break, and his other creations have an enchanting aura about them. (I’m unsure as to what School of magic this would fall under. In D&D I believe this would be a School of Alteration.) As a diplomat, mediator, and as Captain of a Forrest Guard detachment, Estin learned to fluently speak Common, Dwarvish, elvish, and he even picked up a small smattering of Draconian.
He is patient, and a great neutral mediator and diplomat.
A finely crafted oak bow. The wood looks still alive, and glimmers as if it is slightly wet. A steel rapier, black hilt, silver hand-guard, and nondescript blade. He also carries a special logic game, called an Ama handasse. (Which means cunning in Elvish, or at least according to a book I have). He plays this game in his free time. It resembles a chess board, but is smaller. Instead of just one board, it has three, that fold out and give the game more depth. He also carries a small dagger which he uses to whittle wood.
Estin Oakrain Roneli was born at night, under the stars. His parents, his father was a master craftsman and his mother taught at a school of magic, were traveling from an elvish town to the small village of Snowbrook where his mother was to begin teaching at the local school of Conjuration. Before they reached their destination, the time of Estin’s birth came, and he was born in a small clearing just a short distance from Snowbrook.
His father trained Estin in his craft, and his mother did everything she could to see that he got a proper training in various forms of magic. When Estin turned of age, he left Snowbrook, and served for several years in a forest guard detachment. Here he honed his use of defensive magic, and his use with a bow.
Shortly after he left the guard, he returned to Snowbrook and took up his father’s trade. As he was already trained, Estin was able to become a greatly respected wood crafter, in a short amount of time. For several years he went on trading expeditions into Human and Dwarf lands, where he sold his and his father’s goods. It was because of Estin’s familiarity with humans and dwarves that several council members asked him to serve as a diplomat between the three races.
He served for approximately twenty years in this position, mediating between the races. During this time, he also came into contact with all manner of races; Draconians, and different offshoots of human and elfkind. After his tenure as a Diplomat was up, he took a post as a Captain of a Forest guard detachment that was very close to human lands. Here he further developed his skills at mediating between groups. He once more retired from his post, and went back to his first love, woodworking in the small village of Snowbrook, where he lives today.
