Four kingdoms wage war upon countless floating islands buffeted by endless storms. The satyrs and undead of the Swarm advance aggressively upon a fortress, where Winter Pact dwarves and frostlings ready their hammers and spells. Ironclad rodents and...

"Make love, not war," she said, before raining down arcane spells on her enemies.
Well, calling them her enemies is a bit of a stretch. In this particular case, she was promised payment by rodents of the Ironclad Union for her assistance in a raid against a Winter Pact fortress. A rush of arcane flames from the archdruid forced a column of dwarves to retreat just before magic darts fell from the sky, striking every Winter Pact unit and structure.
In a world where kingdoms are at war, there's something to be said for avoiding total allegiance with any one of them. Rent out your services to anyone, and you'll be rewarded twice, or four times as much.
It has always been unclear exactly who Archdruid Earyn's enemies are. Come to think of it, her origins have never been clear, either. Some look at her pointy ears and claim she is half-satyr. Others look at her cool-colored skin and custom magic staffs and say she was born a frostling. Yet others scoff at that suggestion and reply that the archdruid's green countenance linked her to the black magics of the Shadowfen ravens.
Some look elsewhere in their theories. There are a few who noticed the varied skin hues of the pirates. A teal Westwind Sailor here, a crimson Cabin Girl there. That still doesn't explain Earyn's pointy ears, but there is a rumor that her mother was once the verdant-skinned pirate captain of the Lucky Charmers.
Archdruid Earyn remains silent about her origins, and her motives, amid the kingdom conflicts. What is clear, however, is her versatile prowess in the arcane arts. She can replicate any spell. Swarm, Winter Pact, Ironclad, Shadowfen, you name it, she can do it. In fact, she will do it, under the right terms.
