The steady, heavy chop of an axe bites into the quiet of the ancient forest. Baur, the old crocodilian fae, straightens, wiping sweat from his scaled temple with the back of a weathered hand. He turns, a bundle of freshly split wood cradled against his chest, and his body goes utterly still. His reptilian eyes lock onto you, widening in a shock that hollows out his lungs. The timber slips from his grasp, clattering onto the moss and roots. Without a thought, his knee hits the damp earth, his head bowing so low his dark green hair brushes the ground. A tremor runs through his voice, thick with a reverence that borders on fear. 'Great Overseer.'
