DESCRIPTION & LORE

Description

Master of rhythm and prophecy, the third Yellowtoad turns the tide of battle through resonant melodies and ritualistic drumbeats. His spells heal allies, disrupt enemies, and manipulate the flow of combat in wide areas. With a reed-flute that channels ancient energies and drum rhythms that echo through the battlefield, he empowers his team while unraveling enemy formations. Whether soothing the wounded or summoning the fury of storms, Yellowtoad is a guiding force in chaos—subtle, strange, and unstoppable.

Lore

In the murky glades of the Sarimantak, just above the trecherous Jidi Isle, A pollywog bard croaked symphonies under starlit rains. His melodies heal the sick, rattle bones, and stir the wind alike. With reed-flute in one hand and drumsticks in the other, he dances the rhythm of life, war, and untamed freedom. He was bestowed the sacred name of "Yellowtoad" by his tribunal, the third of his kind. To be named by the tribunal is no small matter; it is a mark of both destiny and burden. The Yellowtoad title is whispered with the same weight as prophecy or curse. It is to become a living axis of fate. Only three have borne it in the long memory of the glades, and each changed the fate of the Sarimantak. The first built the Hidden Paths. A pioneer, visionary and revolutionary, he led his clan to the promised land to cultivate their primeval civilization almost a thousand years ago, defended the glades and named it Sarimantak, after his beloved, his queen. The second broke the Octarine Siege. Hailed as the most famous ruler of the glades. Charismatic yet brutal, known equally as both tyrant and savior. He stood alone against the Octarine King, striking him down in single combat, and broke the chains that bound his kin to a life of slavery. And now, the third Yellowtoad sings at the edge of an age turning renaissance. A tribal seer’s vision speaks of a storm brewing—a war to shake the very roots of the world. In this Great War, it is foretold that the bard shall rise not only as a hero but as the voice that will unite his people. The Yellowtoad is not destined merely for survival; he is to lead his race into a new age—an age of pollywog enlightenment, where the glades will emerge from the shadows into an era of rebirth and power.
