Airell Woodcourt

Airell Woodcourt is the younger brother of the Arbor Wardens captain, Alastar Woodcourt and a member of the House of Woodcourt. Knighted as a member of the Arbor Wardens, Airell has continued his brother's pursuit to bridge the gap between the Reachmen and the Galuyn people.

He has personally trained as a druid and a keeper of Hyroth, attempting to help work his roots together. His mother, Deidre, is a clanswoman from Wickenden who married a Gilnean knight, as a result, when he was growing up his family was exposed to the Galuyn rituals much more than many at the time.

After his mother's disappearance and his sister Brigid and his brother Alastar were forced to take charge of the family, Airell felt a sense of abandonment from his mother, seeking to at least keep her teachings alive by reaching further into the arts of the Galuyn people. This led to a deep reverence for nature and the Old Ways, even during the times of the Reach where it was not as prevalent.

Following the Invasion of Gilneas and the Reach's rebirth under acceptance of the Old Ways, Airell became much more open about his practice and attempted to reach out further towards the Kaldorei, becoming a druid.

During the Siege of Wickenden, however, Airell felt compelled to his mother's side, and as such, the Wicker King. It was due to the last minute persuasion from the Blades of Greymane that convinced Airell to remain loyal and realize, that supporting the wicker king would not reunite his family and their lost mother. As such, Airell devoted himself to Hyroth and left on a trek of repentance to gather more information about the Galuyn people once the Wicker King was defeated, seeking to unveil the lost knowledge of the clans.

This led him to come into contact with Siegrun an Gabhatine, a Galuyn clanswoman from the Gabhatine clan in the Eastern Range, one of the few remaining Oakenborn clans. Enraptured by her unique culture, the two became traveling companions shortly after realizing she had enlisted with the Blades, and the two have stayed alongside one another since.
