{{:wiki:lothanderandgage_myson_by_satynapaper.jpg?200 |}}Name: Goska Whitefoot\\ 
Age: 64\\ 
Race: Keshanti\\ 
Residence: Newhaven Druid's Enclave

There's no polite way around it: Goska is one of the more heavyset fox-taurs you will ever meet, and just __being__ a Keshanti is a workout!  He's happy with the way his life has turned out, keeping nature and the Freeholding in balance, and living life well with his extended family.

Goska joined the Blackstone Company as the Black Citrine //after// the ill-fated [[Aard]] voyage: [[Erlich]] swore he'd never travel without a shamanic talent ever again.  They met as part of Princess [[Salissa]]'s efforts to calm the rather cranky [[Mount Vulcanagon]] elemental spirit.  Vulcanagon had barbecued eight other shamans before he could be talked out of sending his, and the three adjacent volcanoes the way of Krakatoa (and taking the eastern Empire with them).

Goska is not the most powerful spell caster you are likely to meet, but he is quite possibly the most versatile.  Literally hundreds of spirits of varying rank hang out around the Enclave because they __like__ him.  He is calm, friendly, and quite content that his adventuring days are over, and focuses on keeping the land and crops healthy.  Goska's elemental focuses are Earth, Air, Water, Plants, and Animals.

  *The Eighth Staff of the Last Sapling: Crafted from a branch of the last known child of the primordial tree spirit.  How Goska got ahold of one of the twelve great treasures of the Wood Elves is anyone's guess.  The 8-Staff amplifies his ability to command plant spirits drastically.
  *Archduke Rion's Circlet: a reward from the same adventure that earned [[Erlich]] //Windreaver//.  An excellent water focus, the circlet also grants Goska the amphibious capabilities of a blue Sea Elf.
  *Vulcanagon's Amulet: Total fire immunity, and **probably** can be used to summon Vulcanagon, once.
