Bwa is a mysterious forest gnome born into the tranquil yet vibrant culture of the Inyexat, his life was a tapestry of starlit skies and whispering woods. As a gifted Mycomancer, trained in the esoteric wisdom of the Children of the Starlit Wilds, Bwa possesses a profound understanding and command over fungi, enabling him to unearth and divine the hidden secrets of the forest. Known for his affinity for mild hallucinogenics, he often carries his distinctive mushroom-infused spirits and a variety of mind-altering mushrooms. These are not just tools for his mycomancy but also gateways to deeper spiritual insights and consciousness.

As a cleric of Imaera, Bwa serves as guardian of the sacred balance, wielding her holy power to heal, protect, and sometimes, when necessary, to bring forth nature's wrath against those who threaten it. His life took an adventurous turn when he allied with Maros and Korgath, and embarked on journeys to ancient, forgotten realms, ranging from the ruins of of Rhoska-Tor to the dark tunnels beneath the halls of Dwarven cities. In these quests, his deep-rooted wisdom and his connection to nature were instrumental in unraveling age-old enigmas and navigating perilous paths.

Throughout these expeditions, Bwa's worldview expanded exponentially, reaching far beyond the starlit canopies of Atan Irith. Each expedition was not merely a physical journey but a deep dive into the realms of arcane knowledge and lost lore. The bond that grew between the gnome, the giantman, and the enigmatic wizard was a fusion of wisdom, strength, and knowledge - creating a legacy that would safeguard the balance of nature and guide those around him towards a deeper understanding of the natural world's mysteries.


Appearance

You see Bwa.
He appears to be a Forest Gnome of the Inyexat.
He is short. He appears to be young. He has gold-flecked stormy green eyes and tanned skin. He has raggedly cut, golden blonde hair that hangs in lank clumps about his face and is matted with twigs and dried loam. He has a weathered face and a broad chest.
He is holding a gnarled greenheart runestaff sprouting vivid green elf cup mushrooms in his right hand.
He is wearing an Imaera's Lace pendant strung upon a floriated ceramic bead chain, a strand of fel and haon beads carved with prismatic lilac sigils, a weather-worn lambskin shawl embroidered with dark bronze threading, a delicate pink oyster mushroom brooch formed from layers of ombre coral, a death trumpet mushroom-shaped sling, a verdant green spidersilk backpack spattered with bits of mud, some grass-stained full leather covered in green-stitched thorny vines, a thorned ivy vine belt with a rosewood-carved rose buckle, a near-black dark green hip-satchel woven with slender vines, and a small brass cog suspended from a thin silver chain.
