Willowbark Whisper

Willowbark Whisper, normally called ‘Willow’ was once the fairy known as Dusk Whisper. One of the first settlers of the town of Nexus, he is arguably one of the most talented and skilled healers within the Forest of Doors. Prior to his arrival in Nexus, Dusk (now Willow) drank frequently to drown his sorrows regarding his friend Rose Balm, who went missing on the Night of the Taking. Since arriving, however, Willow had become more proactive in his art and extremely beneficial to the community.

Willow is married to Saphrin of the Desert of Brass, a marriage that was sanctified by beings known as the Lovers. He was also known as the former headmaster of the Nexus Healer’s Pavilion and frequently trained new arrivals to the Forest in the medical arts. He was also extremely knowledgeable in the ways of spirits and how they relate to the forest, partially because of his association with powerful spirits such as Flintstrike and the Agate Guardian. Originally named the bearer of the Old Laws and a scion to Flintstrike, Willow was finally changed from fairy to human after he and his wife agreed to have their relationship sanctified by the Lovers.

Currently Willow with the help of his wife ascended to the status of an immortal as he and his wife joined the Court of summer to take residence upon the Sun to live out his existence perfecting his art of healing.

Willow has a number of close friends and associates among the people of Nexus and those that reside in the forest, including David and Andre of the Dark Mountains, Thorn and Silverstaff of the Enchanted Glade, Sir Talon of the Realm of Castles and Mattie Irons, formerly of Goblin City. He is also widely respected among spirits and renowned far and wide for his healing ability.
