Scarloc is known both within and beyond the Forest of Loren. Leading a band of Scouts he often ventures far into the lands surrounding the Wood Elf realm to gain advance warning of impending threats. Scarloc is skilled in the interpretation of track and portents and will sometimes even warn the Bretonnians if he finds signs of their common enemies. Thus he has become a trusted friend of many Bretonnian barons and is welcomed at their castles, especially when he brings the excellent venison of Loren! It is usually Scarloc who acts as the emissary of the King and Queen in the Wood and he who is sent to escort friends through the forest to the King's Glade.[1a]
