NPC – Elswyth Harvesthand Druidess

 Elswyth was from a farming family in Verbobonc. Her village of Coolspring was destroyed at the time of the Battle of Emridy Meadows by the horde of goblins that issued from the Temple of Elemental Evil. She was rescued by the Druid Jaroo from the village of Hommlet who had been part of the druidic forces warring against the temple.

 All that she knew and loved was destroyed and she dedicated her life to the eradication of such creatures like the goblins who destroyed her home and killed her family. Her feeling for the balance of nature is eskew in her hatred of the monstrous though she manages to hide it well.

 Secretly she has become allied with the Raven Queen and is actively fighting the Broken Hand goblins who have made incursions into south-eastern Verbobonc.
