She would lead them to Tir Asleen, where a great army awaited to repulse Bavmorda's forces. The fairy tasked Willow to take Elora to the sorceress Fin Raziel, held captive on an isolated island. They led Willow to Cherlindrea of the Forest, who explained the child's fate, the future empress of Tir Asleen and vanquisher of the evil Queen Bavmorda whose forces were conquering all lands. The trek was lengthy, until they met a captive swordsman, Madmartigan, to whom he gave the baby, only to find it a short while later captured by mischievous Brownies. Willow wanted to keep the baby secret, but then it was decided that he should take the child to the Daikini crossroads and be given to a Daikini human. The villagers were angry for the one who caused the disaster. The village was afterwards raided by Death Dogs. Soon later, Elora Danan was rescued from the River Freen by his children. Willow felt like pointing his own finger, but not trusting his intuition, he chose one of the Aldwin's outstretched digits.
He asked his initiates to identify which finger held the power to control the world. ĭuring the Planting Festival of the year 1342, Willow was one of the hopefuls that the High Aldwin would choose as his next apprentice. One of his problems was the surly Prefect Burglekutt, who kept Willow toiling in the fields to pay his taxes, and threatened to send him to the mines should his upkeep ever fall short. Willow married Kiaya Ufgood and raised his two young children, Ranon and Mims. After Schnorr died, Willow's sister Soreen moved to another village. Willow practiced only festival stagecraft but was ambitious of someday becoming a sorcerer. He decided to study magical trickery and even pestered High Aldwin to take him as an apprentice, but he was reticent to take on a new learner.
However, during a festival, little Willow was impressed by displays of magic and stagecraft from the traveling entertainer Pesto the Magnificent. Willow's father however insisted that his son would follow the simple life of a farmer. Willow showed magical talents as an infant, and the High Aldwin declared that he was special upon his birth. He was named for a fallen willow tree near the River Freen. Willow is a Nelwyn, born to the simple farming family of Schnorr Ufgood and Trada.
