Archdruid Tolben was the founder of Kuldahar.
He died long before the events of the Icewind Dale game.
Background[]
He held the position of Archdruid guarding the Great Oak in what is now Kuldahar, as had many other druids before him.
But unlike his predecessors, Tolben did not keep settlers away from the Great Oak. Instead, he believed in harmony between man and nature, and invited settlers to build their homes around the tree, forming the village of Kuldahar.
His present-day successor is Archdruid Arundel.
