Horace Goodspeed

Overview
Once a simple Fierbolg hermit, Horace Goodspeed has been deceased for several years. Before passing on, fearing for his close friend Ajasta's safety, Horace performed a rite of sealing allowing his home to slip into the Ethereal Plane for long periods of time.

A naturally warm and supportive individual, Horace endured long periods of solitude after becoming separated from his family during the Age of Fracture. He encountered the fey spirit Ajasta while on a spiritual journey through the Feywild and on hearing the spirits plight, welcomed him back to his isolated cabin.

History
Horace lived in the Material Plane on an island which would eventually be pulled to form the new continent Saor. Living with a small tribe of kin, the peaceful Fierbolgs served as protectors of their island home, maintaining balance between the plants and animals. With the beginning of the Age of Fracture, ruptures from the elemental Plane of Fire spilled fire and brimstone on the islands shores. Being out at sea on a raft, Horace was not able to return to the island to rescue his family. Only after several days adrift on a turbulent sea did he wash up on the shores of the newly formed Saor - unable to find his family or bearings to return home.

Description
As a Fierbolg, Horace Goodspeed stands over seven feet tall with a wispy fur coated in a slick green algae. His clothing while simple and well-worn, looks surprisingly well constructed of natural materials. His feet are bare with cracks from a hardened, leathery sole underneath. Horace speaks with a slow, drawn out form in a mid pitched voice.
