Backstory
Mikey Druid was born in the ancient realm of Ddryd Goch, a place of emerald forests, crystal-clear pools, and groves thrumming with primal magic. From youth, he showed a prodigious talent in druidic arts, cultivating a deep empathy for nature’s cycles. Under the guidance of aged mentors, he learned to coax healing from the roots of trees, glean whispers from passing winds, and eventually discovered the arcane secrets of time-bending.
However, tragedy befell him when his family became lost in the multiverse’s natural time stream a confluence of disastrous cosmic events that fragmented their world. Fearing he might lose everything he held dear, Mikey poured years of study into forging an incredibly rare potion that would pause the timeline. Using this elixir to escape the collapse of his own realm, he traversed the sacred Druid Circle, an ancient nexus that stitches together realms and eras like threads in a grand tapestry.
Mikey’s initial landing beyond Ddryd Goch brought him to Celtica, a land brimming with mythological wonders and dominated by the presence of the Tuatha Dé Danann an ancient pantheon-like race revered for their magical prowess. Here, he discovered a realm on the brink of devastation by the looming threat of the Babylonian Empire, a juggernaut wielding unmatched physical armaments, advanced metallurgy, and devastating war machines. Celtica, although rich in magical tradition, was outmatched by the sheer force of Babylonian weaponry. Yet they had one advantage: the Celtic druids’ gift for forging potent elixirs.
In his search for a way to restore his homeland, Mikey encountered the Celtic druids and formed an alliance. Their knowledge of brewing powerful potions such as Tears of the Flame dovetailed perfectly with his own druidic skill set. Together, they harnessed nature’s fury, weaving spells and steeling themselves for a confrontation that could shape the fate of multiple worlds.
