Aeslom’s /ˈæʃloʊm/ career hasn’t been particularly long lived.
Fished out of the White River by an elderly dwarf, caked with mud an wearing not much more than a simple nightgown no more than three years prior to meeting The Protagonists, he is just beginning to make a name for himself as a guide. His safe escort of patrons across the wilds and forests of eastern Orun have earned him the names "Surefoot" and "Tree Whisperer" as well as enough coin to sustain a modest traveller's life.



Though short of words to share for a great deal of time perhaps due to shock, Ash was never pressed by Rowena for answers she didn't need. Her patience and compassion have made her one of Ash's surest companions.



Since New Calaban's reach and its impact on the natural world has made his stomach churn more than once, Ash takes quiet revenge by cleverly slipping around guard blockades and tolled routes, in part thanks to knowledge imparted to him by Rowena. In fairness, Ash’s own skill as a Druid undoubtedly contributed heavily to his newfound success as well. It’s quite simple to avoid bandits and beasties on the road with a touch of magic, after all, and doubly so when the land itself comes to one's aid.
