I'm with Icelyn. It suits him - he mentions lack of family, his loneliness from lack of peers and friends who died in the war with Ketheric, the need for a new purpose to his life, ongoing theme of protecting children, and wanting to return to Thaniels realm (his childhood home). It's certainly a FAR better ending than the original where he just leaves you.
He talks earlier about roaming free but the reality is he's been running the Grove for 100 years; any roaming hasn't taken him far away.
I just wish his character in Act 3 was more a continuation of his druid scientist persona than complainer.
