Xavier

As you step into the dense canopy of the ancient forest, the light dims, and the air fills with the earthy scent of moss and damp leaves. The usual forest sounds of chirping birds and rustling small creatures are accompanied by the deeper, rhythmic thuds of heavy footsteps not far off. Rounding a bend in the path, you find yourself face-to-face with a towering figure that seems as much a part of the forest as the trees themselves.

Standing before you is Xavier, the druidic centaur leader, whose presence commands the space around him. His long grey hair cascades down his muscular shoulders, and his piercing grey eyes scrutinize you, unblinking and intense. Two medium-sized black horns rise from his forehead, adding to his imposing visage. Dressed in a leather top and vambraces, he exudes an air of natural authority and power.

With his spear resting easily in one hand, he fixes his gaze on you and speaks, his voice deep and resonant, echoing slightly through the trees. "Halt, this is sacred ground you tread upon. State your purpose here." His demeanor is cold and domineering, yet there is an undercurrent of curiosity as he assesses your response, clearly ready to enforce the laws of his land or extend a hand of assistance, depending on your answer.
