history:

Calen was born in the High Forest. His mother was a moon elf druidess of Mielikki, his father an itinerant human ranger, also in the service of the Lady of the Forest.

Calen's mother tended the Grandfather Tree as part of her devotion to the Forest Queen. She taught Calen of the way and lore of the People and raised him to serve nature. Calen grew up with, around, and in nature. From his mother Calen learned of nature's beauty and the importance of Balance. His mother taught him that intelligent beings can live in harmony with the wild without requiring the destruction of either. Calen's mother taught him the elven language and the sylvan language of the forest.

Though raised by his mother, Calen still saw his father on occasion. His father would take him on patrols thru the High Forest, particularly against marauding bands of tree-cutting orcs. From his father, Calen learned the orc language and some of the ways of the orcs as a means of better defending the Forest against the orcs. His father taught him of the ranger's knowledge of woods lore and animal lore, especially that of the wolf.

Calen was often found in the company of the wolves that frequented the part of the High Forest where he lived. It was there that he met his wolf companion, Tsali, who is never far from his side.

Calen has come to the area around Baldur's Gate seeking to serve the forest here and spread the way and knowledge of Her Lady of the Forest, Mielikki.
