User:Erdan the Ranger

Welcome to my home page! I am a Dungeons & Dragons 5e enthusiast and love to expand my knowledge about the different worlds of the D&D game. While the Dragonlance setting, Ravenloft setting and Greyhawk setting are cool, my absolute favorite is the Forgotten Realms setting and Toril (the physical planet of the FR)!

If you are brand new, explore the Wiki a bit before fully immersing yourself into editing. The Admin Team is very helpful and great and are willing to answer any question I had.

About Me
Erdan Darante is a young and hard-learn half-elf, originally from Halruaa. He was part of a band of adventurers who entered the Domains of Dread, primarily Barovia, were he fought Strahd von Zarovich in Castle Ravenloft.

"The branches of a great Oak tree reach the skies, allowing any brave enough to scale its great truck, and see the wide rolling world. As an Oak tree, such also a giant Ash. But always when one climbs the highest branches are they finally revealed the beauty of the view, the peace of the highest branch, and the understanding of the world beyond.

As one climbs the caste system of the branches and leaves of a great Oak, glimpsing the enlightening view through the foliage, only when and when they reach the top do they find what they seek. Along the way they climb, they might fall and hurt (as bark and branches are not soft wool), but keep pulling themselves up to the top.

Such is the principal of the Council of Erdan."

- Quotes from Erdan Darante, The Formation of the Council: Book I 1487 DR

Join the Council
If you are reading this, then I have no idea how you got here because I am not an active Member at all (just coming to the Wiki once in a while). Anyway, after my adventures in the Curse of Strahd module I established the Council of Erdan.
