'''Edrec''' is an [[elf|elven]] [[arcane hierophant]], a follower of a path of magical study which combines both [[arcane magic]] and the natural power of the [[druid]]s.

==Appearance and personality==

Edrec is cruel and bitter. His hatred of the [[human]] race knows no bounds. He has no sense of fair play or mercy, and believes that no method of killing is too harsh for humans.

He carries a [[longbow]] and [[scimitar]], and wears [[leather armor]]. He is frequently accompanied by his familiar companion, the [[dire boar]] named [[Hruth]].{{cite book|Races of the Wild|112-113}}

Edrec is [[neutral evil]] in [[alignment]].{{cite book|Races of the Wild|112-113}}

==Abilities==
===Spellcasting===

Using the unique skill of an [[arcane hierophant]], Edrec possesses skill with both [[arcane magic]] and [[druid|druidic]] magic, able to treat arcane magic as if it were simply another force of nature.

Edrec has the ability to cast [[wizard]] spells of up to 4th level, and [[druid]] spells of up to 4th level.

===Druidic abilities===

Edrec has several nature-related abilities. He can assume the form of an animal, move through thorns and overgrown foliage without issue, and travel through wilderness without leaving a trace.

===Languages===

An addition to the [[Common]] tongue, Edrec speaks [[Elven]], [[Draconic]], [[Sylvan]], and the languages of the [[Gnoll (language)|gnolls]] and [[Druidic|druids]].{{cite book|Races of the Wild|112-113}}

==Treasure==

Edric carries various magically enhanced equipment, including his leather armor, wooden shield, and a scimitar. He carries a [[longbow]] with forty arrows, of which ten are silvered and ten tipped with [[cold iron]]. He wears an [[amuelt of health]], and carries two wands: one of [[cure light wounds]], and one of [[magic missile]]. In an emergency, he can rely on a single [[potion of invisibility]].{{cite book|Races of the Wild|112-113}}

==Relationships==
===Enemies===

Edrec makes the [[human]] race his sworn enemy. He wields the power of nature to harass and destroy all humans who encroach upon his forest home, believing his actions justified by the endless human exploitation of the woods for for cleared farmland, timber, and furs.{{cite book|Races of the Wild|112-113}}

===Allies and minions===

Edrec is allied with [[Yeshelvarra]], a young adult [[green dragon]]. Yeshelvarra accepts any loot taken from the victims of Edrec's attacks as payment for her services.

Edrec's familiar companion&mdash;both [[familiar]] and [[animal companion]]&mdash;is a [[dire boar]] named [[Hruth]]. He can cast spells through this creature.

While many arcane hierophants gather together in informal circles, it is not known with certainty if Edrec is a current member of such a group.
