Yortkul Grootlegiggles is a ranger of the Oakenheart Conclave and a member of the Servants of the Moonlit Circle. He is counted among both the warriors of nature and the wayfinders for hire.1
The Oakenheart
The Oakenheart Conclave is a unique group of rangers who replace their hearts with magical hearts made of gemstone and oak. Yortkul is the first Oakenheart ranger to be officially stationed in the forests of the Western Provinces. The conclave, which has close ties with the wood elven rebels, sent one of its seasoned members to observe and learn about the threats from the West.2
His heart burns with rage, and its fire flows through his strikes, and he can drive it to overload, so that each pulse releases fire around him.3
The Servants of the Moonlit Circle
As a forest gnome, Yortkul was already used to living in the wild with little contact with humans. He quickly formed a friendly relationship with the druid circle and made allies among the Servants of the Moonlit Circle. At first the company hired him to help on small missions; after a few of them he wished to join, knowing that the aims of his conclave and of the Servants were aligned. He passed the guild's tests with ease and won the trust of Perildien.2
After his initiation he learned of the infamous mission undertaken by the company's founding members, and he became obsessed with hunting the undead generals of Blaspheus.2
Yortkul is homesick and misses speaking Gnomish.2
In battle
His weapon of choice is a short sword, and he always tries to keep one hand free for potions, poisons and the occasional scroll. He enjoys ambushes and quick battles in which he can kill high-risk targets with a few deadly blows. He studies the enemy group and goes for its spellcasters or unarmoured fighters, deliberately wounding enemies to lure their allies into the fight, and if there is a healer among them he makes sure to finish his targets before healing can reach them.2
When under contract Yortkul never fights to the death; if the situation turns dire he flees, for he has a greater mission to carry out.2
