History
During his younger years, Cernd spent an entire year contemplating upon his relationship with and duty to serve the natural world.

In the years prior to his ascension as a druid, Cernd lived with his wife Galia, in the city of Athkatla. They had a modest home in Waukeen's Promenade that was tended to by their servant Fennecia.

When Cernd felt the call to serve nature and protect the land he left his wife behind. From his perspective, they decided together than this action was best for the greater good. Unbeknownst to Cernd she was pregnant and within the next nine months, gave birth to a baby. While he was away, Galia became involved with a nobleman named Deril.

In the, Cernd was sent north to investigate a disturbance at a druid grove in Amn. The influence of Shadow Druids corrupted the once peaceful druid enclave creating conflict with the nearby town of Trademeet. While investigating the area Cernd was captured by the townsfolk and imprisoned. They mistakenly took him for one of the Shadow Druids responsible incarcerated him within the cells beneath the mayor's house. This delayed his investigation and prolonged the crisis.
