History: Seere was born into a poor family. Growing up, she dreamt of becoming a Druid, to bring honor to her family’s name. When she came of age, she applied for a position with her town's local guard, looking to work her way up via merit and eventually become a Druid in service of a powerful lord somewhere. Her druidic abilities were realized during a raid on her village. During her travels, Seere and her party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic.
