### Primal Order — Magician

Aeris knows one extra cantrip from the Druid spell list. He also gains a bonus to Intelligence checks using Arcana or Nature.

### Wild Shape

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As a Bonus Action, Aeris can shape-shift into a known Beast form. He can use Wild Shape </span>**2 times per Long Rest**, regaining one expended use after a Short Rest. At this level, he knows four Beast forms with a maximum CR of 1/4 that lack a Fly Speed.

### Wild Companion

### Allies

A former mentor from Aeris’s surface grove taught him to read tracks, weather, animal behaviour, and unnatural signs in the wild.

### Organizations

**The Circle of Root and Star:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> A loose druidic circle that watches for natural omens and protects old woodland paths.</span>

</details><details id="bkmrk-%F0%9F%93%96-backstoryaeris-na%C3%AF"><summary>📖 Backstory</summary>

Aeris Naïlo was once a guide and grove-warden from a secluded wood elf enclave on the surface. His life was spent reading tracks, tending sacred places, and protecting travellers who respected the old paths.

In the seasons before his descent, Aeris noticed troubling signs: roots blackening without disease, animals fleeing from cave mouths, and pale fungi blooming where no spores should have reached. Believing these omens pointed to something stirring beneath the world, he followed the signs underground.

Whether through capture, betrayal, or simple misjudgement, Aeris became trapped in the Underdark. Now far from wind, rain, birdsong, and stars, he has begun to see that nature does not end at the forest edge. It continues below in stranger, hungrier forms.

Aeris is quiet, observant, and compassionate, but survival has sharpened him. He still protects life where he can, but he no longer mistakes mercy for softness. The Underdark is teaching him that rot, darkness, and predation are part of nature too — and that lesson frightens him.

</details><details id="bkmrk-%F0%9F%95%AF%EF%B8%8F-campaign-notessur"><summary>🕯️ Campaign Notes</summary>

- **Surface Longing:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Aeris carries seeds from his home grove and refuses to plant them until he sees the open sky again.</span>
- **Underdark Adaptation:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> His fear is not merely dying underground, but becoming too suited to it.</span>
- **Survival Role:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Strong Perception, Insight, Stealth, Survival, Goodberry, Pass without Trace, and Wild Shape make Aeris valuable for scouting, travel, and keeping the party alive.</span>
- **Moral Tension:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Aeris believes in balance, but the Underdark may force him to decide how much cruelty can still be called nature.</span>
