cas is going to be hermiting around a forest in the Velan Republic near the border to the godlands and kind of tending to it while looking out for the people that settling there. at some point in the 800 years, he was going to cause a big earthquake/crater thing and basically level a village there that he feels super guilty about for centuries after, so he just hangs around trying to revitalize the land, so maybe claire could help him with regrowth in the forest?
