Personality: Rith is a noble and jovial sort, that of a jester one could say. He will normally stop at nothing to help someone who he feels he can assist in one matter or another. He may tend to prattle on of the balance of nature and whatnot, but he means no ill. Though if something or someone he cares for is endangered he tends to shift personalities as it were to that of a raging lion to defend it, tooth and nail if need be.

History: Abandoned in a forest by his parents as an infant, unwanted, Rith was cold, scared and alone. Though by some stroke of luck, the one beast he encountered in this wood was a she-wolf, the companion of Magus Lyne a Summoner, or Animist as he liked to call it. Magus took young Rith to his home, a cabin in the same wood, and under his wing. For most of Rith's life he was trained as Magus's Apprentice, and raised as his son, teaching him basic magic skills and the importance of the balance of nature. Though, sadly as humans tend to do, Magus grew old and one evening passed away, leaving Rith with these words: "My son, do not weep for me, for this is but the balance of nature in effect. Take what I have taught you, reflect upon it, strengthen it, and use it to maintain the balance." And so, with his Father's teachings, and his trusted "Bag of Tricks" Rith set off into the world to continue his Father's work.
Since then Rith has been wandering the lands, but often returns to Avaren, adopting the Kingdom as his home. Defending it from harm with the allies he had been blessed to make there and journeying onwards when his calling demanded it.

Bag of Tricks
This item appears to be a regular small, brown, leather sack, no bigger than a gold pouch. Though, the remarkable thing about this item is what is held inside. In the bag are five small, white, objects that resemble dandelion spores or wads of cotton. These objects, that Rith had affectionately dubbed "Puffers", when focused upon, can be used to summon a myriad of magical or mundane creatures.
Naturally, the bigger or more complex the creature is, the more of a strain it is on Rith to conjure and maintain existence. Also, conjuring multiple creatures at once, doing so too often, or maintaining focus on a creature or a prolonged period of time will leave him similarly drained physically.
To summon a creature, Rith need only look at a Puffer and imagine an animal. When he has a clear enough image in his mind, the Puffer explodes in a puff of white smoke and the creature appears.

Sylvan Scimitar
This expertly crafted Scimitar has been enchanted by powerful Archdruids to utilize some of Mother Nature's boundless strength. While being used outdoors in a temperate climate, the blade glows a dull golden color and grants the user the ability to strike not only with more force, but guides him to make more decisive strikes as well.
