Sylla Lone Druid

Contention of the Onyx Grove
Many were the places that the exiled Lone Druid chanced upon as he waited out the terminus of life's path in the great wheel of this world. One of these was this shadowy Onyx Grove, a darkling woods found amongst an enigmatic, northern pine. The Grove was a nexus for both fierce and strange creatures who have come here to quarrel in disharmony. In time, Sylla adapted his own form to suit whatever needs he may have in there and soon he joined the chaos as a massive bipedal bear.

Besides his kin, Sylla seems to know Dragon Clan. He believes the to be one of its members, despite him belonging to the Scaled Knights of Uthorian. Perhaps he mistook his knighthood for this clan, with Sir Davion's similar transformative power to his own possibly being the reason.

Serpent Clan

Spirit Bear

In Sylla's biography, there are mentions of a group of deities who are the arch-forces of nature that entrusted him with the Seed. It's possible that one of them is a female, since he refers to nature (who chose him as its guardian, like how he was chosen as the Seed's keeper) as a her.

It is a product and extension of his mind, therefore it is linked to his soul, hence its spirit name—although sometimes he simply refers to it as his spirit. As a product of his mind, the bear can be altered by his current mood, its appearance reflecting his nature. By default, it is a manifestation of his ferocity, but if he is serene, it can be a manifestation of his calmness. It can also be a projection of his inner strength. Since it's from his head, the Spirit Bear seems to be insubstantial to others, probably because it dissipates upon death. Its strange existence may be explained by the fact that it comes from another plane, possibly from an ethereal plane existing on a mental or spiritual level. With the bear's symbiotic connection to Sylla's spirit and heart, a lies between him and his bear.
