In his campaign there’s an anomaly called ‘The Shattered Portal’, which has been spreading and unleashing wild magic surges/storms all across Juelle and beyond. There are two categories of people who are affected by the Shattered Portal ;

Portal Touched ▸ individuals who were directly impacted/physically altered by a Shattered Portal event

Portal Adjacent ▸ individuals who were present when the Shattered Portal appeared, but were physically unaffected by the events that followed.

Erik is considered to be Portal Touched, he was taken from his brother and his home by a portal and disappeared for 4 years ( though to him, it only felt like 2 weeks… ). However, time wasn’t the only thing he lost.

Erik used to be a Circle of the Moon druid ( I got to play him as such in a little 3 shot before his campaign started ). He’s now a part of the Circle of the Blighted.

One of his before and after tokens for how his animal forms got effected by this change in Circles.

Erik came back with a tangle of brambles making up a circlet that hugs his cheeks and wraps around the back of his head. He cannot take this off. 

When he was reintroduced to his brother, his right hand up to his elbow was degloved. The wound never bleeds and he insists that it doesn’t really hurt ( y’know, like a liar. )

He cannot really recall his missing time, it feels like one bad, never-ending drug trip thus making any details hazy at best.

Recently, Erik had a nightmare and was revisited by his mysterious ‘dream visitor’ who claimed that he was very pretty and began to peel the skin off of his entire neck. When he woke up it felt like he had hundreds of ants biting on his throat and neck & the party discovered that he was missing more skin. ( Happy, "welcome to level 7!" )

Now The Companions are in the process of researching who or what could have done this to him.
