Thunder Bluff Lessons and Leather Gloves

Turak Runetotem greeted me in Elder Rise as a brother. He spoke of the Great Balance and of keeping our minds clear and our hearts strong, and offered to teach me. I learned Feral Charge from him. Tarn, the leatherworking teacher, said he was pleased with my progress and that the Earth Mother must have inspired my hands.

Turak gave me Cure Poison and Aquatic Form, and then taught me better ranks of Entangling Roots, Nature's Grasp, Regrowth and Maul. I also learned Faerie Fire and Hibernate. In the Undercity, Feral Charge came to me. Later Turak taught me Mark of the Wild, Demoralizing Roar, Rebirth, Healing Touch and Starfire.
