Magical Academy Builder | Cedar Stonebridge Fluff

>Origin: Cedar was born in England. His birth was the talk of the village, entirely due to its strange circumstances. An old druidess, past childbearing age grew pregnant in the summer, much to the wonderment of the hamlet. The druidess was without husband, and murmurs abounded that she danced, sang, and copulated with the Fair Folk on moonlit summer nights. She went about her duties, and gave thanks to the gods for her good fortune. On the spring Equinox, under a cedar tree, and beneath full moon, Cedar Stonebridge was born. Named for his village, he learned from his mother the names of the plants and animals of the woods, and of the basic uses of some herbs.
It was as Cedar began to grow into a man that his attunement with nature first manifested itself. In a forest glade, amid ancient oaks, he discovered faerie circles: colorful mushrooms in the center of the clearing. With tentative steps, he entered one of the circles, and as he did, a gust of wind came through the trees, rustling the leaves and carrying the sweet smell of flowers with it. At that moment, he felt the connectedness of all things. The cycle of life was laid plain before him: the birds who eat the berries from bushes, who are eaten by snakes, who are hunted by mongooses, who are preyed on by wolves. He saw the grass which the deer grazed upon before they were felled by human hunters. Mighty oaks grew before him, and were felled by woodsmen. At the end of everything, at the end of life laid humanity. He saw that man was hungry and greedy, through no fault of his own. It was then that he knew that the gods, faeries, and spirits of the forest were in danger. With their holy places being trampled, harvested, and clear cut, the magical beings have nowhere to go, and are slowly fading. Cedar knew what he must do. He had to protect the sanctity of nature, and help man rediscover his connection to the magics of the ancient world. The only problem was that he know not how. After his vision, the young man fell to the ground, drained. There, he slept for a day and a night. When he awoke, he saw that the grass about him leaned towards the faerie circle, and towards him. Cedar knew he was different somehow, but didn't know what was special about him.
Meanwhile, his studies were going well, and the druidess was about to impart unto him the first of the secrets of her trade when she fell ill. The townspeople sent for a healer from a nearby village, and while the two waited, the druidess told Cedar of Utul College, where she wanted him to continue his education. The healer arrived too late, and Cedar's mother was gone. Cedar Stonebridge packed everything he owned into a sack and set out for the city, singing the whole way, for nothing brought him more joy than song.
Upon arriving at the city, he was overwhelmed by the sights and scents of the place, and he yearned to return to his quiet hamlet, and rest in the oak glade by the mushroom circles. However, he resolved to carry on, and fulfill his mother's dying wish. Cedar booked passage on a trader's ship, and after a year of travelling over sea and land, arrived at the College, where he enrolled. He knows little of his own magical ability, and is in wonderment of the College, with its massive size and population. Someday, he hopes to return home, and contact the fae folk, of whose existence he is certain, and discover how he can help the world begin to heal. The identity of his father remains unknown to him, and he intends to investigate that upon his return as well.
