Forest Stalker

“	I am the silence of the trees—I can hear their breath, and they tell me that you don’t belong here.	”
—Kiera, Elven mystic of Myrwood Hiils

Prerequisite: Woodland Elf 

Efficient hunters of the wilderness-- keen as the forest floor beneath their feet. The seasons change, and the forests become a haven for creatures of many kinds, but no other creature can feel at home in their natural home than the forest stalkers that keep it as is. They are the defenders of the forests—hedging out trespassers that advance too deep into their territory. Their presence starts off as a dreary darkness that suddenly looms above the trespasser, warning them to turn back or else something terrible will happen. If they continue to persist, the stalker strikes—felling the trespasser without warning. Blood is spilled, and the forests fall into the safety of the guardians once again.

Many forest stalkers like to taunt their prey before striking. They use their environment to their advantage—never wasting a single breath.
