Lore

Tatterclaws has one foot in two worlds: Half-Sylvan, Half-Human; half-forest dweller, half-alleywalker; half-protector, half-slayer; half-merchant, half-philanthropist. He wanders the woods and streets of Elanthia seeking bounties, helping his fellow adventurers, and discovering his place in the world. He appears to reside in the abandoned crypts under Wehnimer's Landing, though he has also been seen resting in the Dragonsclaw Forest outside of town.

Ancestrally, he is part of the Sylvan diaspora. His family history, though he recognizes it may be apocryphal, claims to tie his lineage to the Eranishal, the group of 170 ranger-like scouts led by Oriahn Desechal, who joined the Elves to fight against Despana. Another family tale links him as a descendant of Alandalor, whose name means "the lost is found," the first human adopted by the Sylvans, and who ultimately became a respected healer.

Aligning with the worldview of his Sylvan lineage, Tatterclaws views his friends and communities as part of his larger family in the world. Curiously, he makes it clear that he is married, but speaks little of his spouse or family, and always with a strange air of simultaneous tragedy and hopefulness.

Commerce

Tatterclaws has a shop in Wehnimer's Landing, a moss-draped fieldstone shop on Modwir Way, which he attends to regularly:

Sales from the Crypt

There are several items Tatterclaws has been seeking for many years, including:
