A druid whose presence is felt more often than it is seen, Evelyn Valis walks the forests and wild roads healing wounded beasts, restoring blighted ground, and intervening only when balance is threatened. Trained in ancient matrilineal traditions of Falian Druidism, tempered by formal study at the College of Elbion, and shaped by loss both spoken and unspoken, Evelyn is a figure of restraint and untold depth.

Among the villages bordering Falwood, she is spoken of in half-whispered stories: a hooded healer, a watcher with the forest’s gaze, a woman who listens as much as she acts. Children claim the woods see through her eye, or that her eyepatch hides the very spirit of the forests itself. Evelyn neither confirms nor denies such tales.

Appearance

Evelyn Valis bears the appearance of a young adult, though there is a quiet gravity to her that makes her difficult to place by age alone. She is of average height and lean build, her frame shaped by long travel and life spent outdoors rather than deliberate training. Her hair is silver, worn long and often left loose or bound into a loose knot, that often catches the forestlight. One pale silver eye watches the world with calm attentiveness, while the other is concealed beneath a simple dark eyepatch, itself never explained. Her complexion is fair and weathered, marked by wind and sun, and her features carry a softness tempered by resolve. She dresses in practical garb — light, layered cloaks and natural fibres suited to forest paths and long roads. She moves with quiet assurance, and there is a sense, difficult to articulate, that the wild listens for when she passes.

Skills and Abilities

Druidic Arts (Falian Tradition)

A master practitioner of Falian Druidism, Evelyn’s magic is rooted in lineage, land, and living continuity.
  • Healing of wounds, sickness, and spiritual imbalance (particularly animals and natural places).
  • Communion with flora and fauna
  • Land-sense: an intuitive awareness of ecological disturbance, corruption, or suffering
  • Ritual warding and protective workings
  • Seasonal and cyclical magic tied to growth, decay, and renewal
  • Her practice is conservative and deliberate, favouring long-term harmony over dramatic intervention.

Elemental Earth Magic

Evelyn specialises in earth-aspected magic, expressed through:
  • Defensive stone and soil manipulation
  • Grounding and stabilising magical fields
  • Reinforcement of structures, roots, and natural barriers
  • Drawing strength, patience, and endurance from the land itself
  • Her elemental magic is slow, powerful and anchored.

Scholarly Training
  • Former student of the College of Elbion
  • Broad theoretical knowledge of magic, natural philosophy, and ritual praxis
  • Invited to preliminary trials for Maester of the First Order, which she declined
  • Though capable of academic excellence, she found such pursuits insufficient to her calling.

Strengths

  • Deep compassion, especially toward the voiceless and wounded
  • Exceptional restraint and self-control
  • Powerful defensive and restorative magic
  • Strong moral compass rooted in care rather than law
  • Ability to endure hardship without complaint
  • Earns trust from animals and those who live close to the land

Shortcomings


  • Emotionally reserved; struggles to articulate personal grief
  • Avoids leadership and recognition, even when needed
  • Reluctant to act decisively against people unless forced
  • Carries unresolved questions regarding her family
  • Her silence is often mistaken for coldness or detachment
  • Overburdens herself with quiet responsibility

Personality

Evelyn is humble, serious and deeply kind. She speaks little, but when she does her words are measured and sincere. She does not seek validation, nor does she enjoy legend, though she understands why stories form. Her compassion is expressed through action rather than reassurance.

She values peace, but not naively. She understands violence and bears its consequences. Evelyn watches more than she intervenes, and when she acts, it is because she believes she must.

Notable Possessions

Imbued Falian Staff:
Crafted from ancient Falian wood, inherited and further enchanted through her own rites. When attuned in moments of need, it produces a powerful protective ward capable of sheltering life from harm. Its use is taxing and never casual.

Spirit Fox Companion:
A quiet, pale spirit-fox bound to her through means neither fully explained nor advertised. It serves as companion, guide and silent witness. It is not a familiar in the academic sense, but something older and mutual.

Biography & Lore

Evelyn Valis was born in Falwood to a long, unbroken line of Falian druid women, each passing their knowledge to the next through teaching, ritual and lived example. Her mother was her first and most formative teacher, instilling reverence for balance, patience and responsibility.

Her father, a human witch of uncertain lineage and power, vanished during Evelyn’s early childhood. His absence is a quiet one, unanswered, unresolved and rarely discussed, yet silently lefts its mark on her.

As a young woman, Evelyn travelled to the College of Elbion, where she excelled rapidly. Her talent and discipline drew attention, eventually culminating in an invitation to participate in preliminary trials for the Maesters of the First Order. She declined, sensing that her path did not lie in hierarchy or institution.

Now, guided by unnamed mystic callings, she walks the lands with her spirit fox, tending wounds both seen and unseen. She seeks out Orc clans to learn their shamanistic understanding of spirits, approaching as a humble student, driven by the sincere need to understand for her own betterment.

Among the children of Falwood, she has become a figure of soft legend: a watcher in the woods, a healer who listens to trees, a woman whose single eye sees for the whole forest. Evelyn herself remains simply what she has always been: a druid, a guardian, and a quiet presence where she is most needed.
