Dendum /den.dəm/ is a Forest Gnome of the Wendwillow Blood Line, however he is considered conservative by his own people. He follows Imaera but still pays homage to Zelia as a patron and guide to his people.

He has a difficult time understanding all the cultural norm's of other more complex societies and is dismissive of almost all of their achievements but he has come to understand not everyone can be a forest gnome and survive in the woods. He does think books are an interesting invention but he thinks the habit of writing everything down is partially to explain for all the problems of elves and humans.

Coming from a mostly egalitarian society he does not understand why so many humans are dismissive of others and often takes up for the underdog in any situation....even when it is painfully obvious the underdog is wrong.

Dendum was once a master of the Guardians of Sunfist but after a slight crisis of faith he has found shelter in the teachings of the Order of Voln and now tries to carry forth what he sees as a blessed mission from the greater spirits of Elanthia.

Appearance

Dendum the Forestwalker.

He appears to be a Forest Gnome of the Wendwillow Bloodline.

He is average height. He appears to be of full age. He has aubergine-flecked dark blue eyes and sun-kissed, light brown skin. He has raggedly cut, thick grey-brown hair that has a slender braid at the temple adorned with a suede-wrapped silver hawk feather. He has a broad nose and a grey-brown beard worn in multiple braids.

He has a carved gnomish pipe clenched between his teeth, a stylized raven inked in thick bold lines on his arm, a Wendwillow bloodmark tattoo on his neck, and a curved virescent rose thorn in the upper ridge of his left ear.

He is wearing a hedgehog hide huiteo, some yew and moonstone prayerbeads, a talisman, a ko'nag-pinned cloak, an egg, a tightly woven basket, a beaded beaver pelt baldric over a kidskin kuyak, a dappled bear hide quiver, and a wombat hide pouch.

Companion

Dendum's companion is known as Bird or sometimes Second Bird in common. His first companion, a great horned owl, perished in an explosion in the landing many years ago.

Bird's name in gnomish changes often but is normally: Bird-Who-Hunts-The-Bear-And-Who-is-Wise-Enough-to-Avoid-Explosions-Which-Hunts-In-The-Night-Who-Also-Cuts-The-Trolls

a resplendent obsidian black raven

Not much more than a black silhouette, the large raven alternates between soaring with the breeze and flapping his glossy wings. While content to soar, the occasional mid air maneuver gives testimony to the aerial agility the species is known for. Ever watchful of the ground, the obsidian black raven moves quietly in the air, only occasionally giving out his characteristic call.
