Davek

Davek is a mage who first appears at an imperial outpost in the forest. He is a rather timid individual who has a deep love of nature. The party encounters him after Umir dispatches them to the forest to research ways to mine the corruption. Davek helps the party sabotage the mining equipment (with the help of Ironroot and some other corrupted tree creatures). It appears that Davek perishes during the collapse of the outpost.

While regent, Vandroiy sends a team to the forrest to find out what has happened there since the initial expedition. They encounted Davek, though he has undergone a tremendous change. Physically, he is now more tree than human, as he was exposed to the corruption during the outpost collapse. He also grew more outspoken, decrying Vandroiy as someone who would abandon the woods to the corruption. Davek's plan is to unleash a mytical extraplanar demi-god known as the Erlwing. The Erlwing is said to be able to restore nature back to it's true form. The party battles with him and his followers, killing a few before Ironroot intervenes.

Later, it is revealed that Davek has joined forces with Azo in his revolt against the government. His attempts to summon the Erlwing are thwarted (most noticibly by Earodan, who kicks him in the groin), so he flees to another plane to try to invoke the beast. The party is able to follow him, and Davek is finally slain.
