			Sorry I'm so late getting back to you. Your character
			sounds very... detailed. ;) I think he will make a
			good addition to the group. I think I'll give you
			some of the herbs you've come up with to start with,
			but perhaps not in the quantity you've noted below.
			As you said, there will be opportunity for you to find
			some of the ingredients during the quests.

			As for levels, I'm thinking I'd like you to start at
			about 75% of everyone else's levels, so I think level
			7 or 8 would be a good start, but we'll check at the
			end of your campaign just to be sure.

			Go ahead and roll him up according to the Allen's
			rules and do all the other fun stuff. Talk to you
			soon.

For a short time, he was the [[Forest Steward]] of [[Druid Grove]]. After a grievous injury, he retired, allowing [[Serafin Hawkwind]] to assume the post during his recovery.

	~~Then~~,...		Rasha wandered the [[Plains of Ur]], [[Twisted Forest]], [[Glimmorwood]], and the [[Bandit Wastes]] for a decade. He saw good and evil, blossom and blight, rejoicing and misery. Eventually, an elven mystic high in the [[The Fangs]] told him of the [[Iron Circle]], and Rasha has recently ('18) made contact and agreed to assist in their mission while convenient and aligned.

	Born on the [[Bora-Bora Steppe]] to a shaman mother and warrior father, Rasha grew up on horse milk, yak, and barley.
