Chendl

"He turned my familiars into a dreaded Root Beast."

- Chendl on the machinations of Kael Vun'din

At a Glance
Formerly a hamadryad mercenary of great renown, the fearsome Chendl turned over a new leaf (as it were) after generations of conflict and bloodshed in the name of Hextor. Committing himself to the study of druidic magics before converting to the faith of Melora, Chendl travelled to The Western Peaks where he lived in isolation as he repented for his sins.

Chendl's self-imposed exile would eventually lead him to Destoria where he became the town's herbalist and was responsible for cultivating their annual harvest. Although he did not follow the town's faith of Oghma, he saw much aligned in the cyclical nature of his goddesses' faith and that of the harvest and pledged himself to Mikhail Brantov, lord of Destoria.

Age of Adventure
Trouble would come to Destoria in the form of Kael Vun'din who, using his natural (but mad) sciences, corrupted Chendl's nature-based familiars. Turned into "Root Beasts", the familiars rampaged across Destoria and Chendl was imprisoned for his suspected actions.

He was later vindicated and set free when a group of do-good heroes passed through Destoria and agreed to catch Kael Vun'din, which they did, thereby succeeding in clearing Chendl's name.
