# Thanlin

**Aeris Naïlo’s former teacher and an archdruid of the Grove.**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Thanlin taught Aeris about Sylvanus, the balance between growth and decay, and the importance of listening to nature rather than simply imposing order upon it. During Aeris’s childhood, Thanlin used a lakeside lesson to show him a vision of the Underdark and told him the story of Ilarion Mossheart and the lost Wildwood Scepter of Sylvanus.</span>
