The Waylanders Update #43 – Amergin Story & Background

Gato Salvaje Studio, the team behind the upcoming Dragon Age-inspired time travel RPG The Waylanders, continues using their Kickstarter updates to introduce us to all the companions we’ll be able to recruit while playing their game. This time around, we’re told a thing or two about Amergin – a talented human druid. Check it out:

Despite being only thirty at the start of the game, Amergin is the Master Druid for the court of King Ith. Amergin is bright, inspired, excited about life, and incredibly good at magick. He is known for his charm and his sharp wit. He believes with all his heart that the world is out of balance, and he has devoted himself to becoming part of the solution.

A distant relative of King Ith, Amergin’s magickal prowess was discovered at an early age. He was sent to the Mage’s College, where he was raised with little knowledge or understanding of the outside world. Though he excelled at his classes and was extremely well-liked, he developed a reputation for sometimes being close-minded when it comes to opinions that conflict with the Celtic way of life.

Amergin is regarded as a magickal and political authority by other humans, but due to his youth, immortal characters rarely take him seriously. They should, though- despite his sarcasm, he’s the most powerful druid to grace the Celts in generations. He has not figured this out quite yet, but he’s starting to.

As a romance option, Amergin falls hard and fast. He may be interested in shacking up pretty quickly. Maybe too quickly… Amergin is attentive and would do anything for you- but he is also jealous as hell. He would not be comfortable with you seeing other people. But, he would never dream of cheating on you or leaving you. He’s a man of principles, and a man of his word.
