[](https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/651333164844222242/) Master tracker, reluctant prophet, and the party’s moral north-star, Tama Dalkan bridges the wild and the civilised with equal ease. Orphaned in the woods, trained by a fey-touched hermit, and lately resurrected after trading blows with devils, the human druid now shoulders the Span’s oldest wounds—determined to heal the land even as war and pestilence spread.

Tama Dalkan

Aliases: “Green-cloak,” “Midday’s Apprentice” 

Appearance

Tama stands 6’ 5” and moves with unstudied grace; sun-tanned skin, leaf-green eyes, and a long red braid hint at countless days beneath open sky. Faded scars criss-cross his right arm from youthful misadventures; a newer lattice of infernal claw-marks climbs one shoulder—a souvenir from his fatal skirmish in Phlegethos.

Early Life

Born in bustling Epoch, the infant Tama was abandoned in neighbouring woodland during a famine, surviving on berries and sheer instinct before the enigmatic hermit Midday Glen found him. Impressed by the boy’s resilience, Midday taught him to name every bird-call, coax sap to salve, and speak the Druidic tongue of the ancient oaks.

From Feral Child to Wanderer

By adolescence Tama could stalk deer barefoot for leagues, brew poultices, and channel the Entangle cantrip with effortless focus. Wanderlust soon drew him beyond the forest’s edge, where he discovered a world starved for the balance he took for granted.

Key Relationships

• Midday Glen – Fey-blooded mentor and, as revealed in later sessions, a silver dragon in disguise who still guides Tama’s dreams. • Otto Sunero – Pelorian cleric whose light complements Tama’s earth; they have saved each other’s lives more times than either will admit. • Quinn Amblecrown – Chaotic bard and unlikely friend; Quinn’s illusions often rely on Tama’s quiet backup when the ruse collapses.

Notable Deeds

Guardian of the Grove – Fought gnoll raiders and an Ettin at Dayflower’s grove; nearly died, receiving a vision of a soul-river before rallying to victory. Tamer of Ogg – Hunted the maddened dire bear Ogg across Mossley’s hills, finally subduing the beast beside a pilgrim caravan.

Tama’s vines crushed Sulvagren’s heartstone, dooming the ritual. Death & Return – Killed while freeing Brother Mathias in Hell; awoke weeks later in Midday Glen’s sarcophagus, weakened but alive—proof even the Nine Hells cannot chain the wild.

Philosophy & Motivations

Tama believes every soul—beast, tree, or mortal—deserves its natural place in the turning of seasons. His guiding tenet: “Heal first, strike only as the storm strikes—when balance demands.”

Current Status

With Epoch fallen to Hextor’s clergy and fiend-worms tunnelling deep, Tama leads refugees toward newly raised Aurellion Keep, all while scrying Penn’s whereabouts and plotting a counter-offensive against Karstan’s blighted armies. The land sickens; the druid sharpens his sickle.
