History:
Tall and thin, with unfocused eyes that suggests his thoughts are anywhere but on the present situation, Cathbadh doesnt look particularly intimidating. Infact he looks almost wimpy. His very pale skin and blank expression doesnt help. However it was his unfocused eyes, that always made him seem deep in thought that drew the interest of Setanta, a lone wandering druid, to this strange boy standing alone in a forest. Setanta had been surprised by the fact that not only did his eyes seem too mature for his age, but that the 5 year old Cathbadh had supposedly been abandoned in the middle of nowhere. The druid decided to take the quite boy under his wing, and so Cathbadh followed Setanta on his various travels. Setanta tried multiple times to discover why Cathbadh had been abandoned, but he would instantly go quiet whenever asked. Eventually he gave up trying, and as time past, even Cathbadh himself began to forget his childhood years.
Setanta would tell Cathbadh the names of the plants and animals of creatures they encountered on their travels, but had never considered instructing him in the ways of a druid untill one day, when Cathbad was in his teens, he asked Setanta himself. After the initial shock, Setanta realised that the boy was actually quite suited to his way of life; he had wisdom that was uncommen for his age, he had developed respect for nature, and was capable of surving from only the land itself. Setanta decided to take him to the Green Singers, the Sect he had originally belonged to before he had left for reasons that he had never explained to Cathbadh. When they eventually arrived, Setanta bid him farewell and departed.
The Sect accepted Cathbadh, though they were skeptical at first as they expected Cathbadh to just get up and leave like his mentor, and friend of many years, had. However, he was a quick learner and they eventually grew to accept him. While training to become a druid, he formed a bond with a young hawk who seemed to live in the forest near to the sect. He decided to call the hawk "Luas", the druidic word for speed, as he was often amazed by how fast it could fly.
Soon after Cathbadh was finnaly considered a fully fledged druid, he heard of the death of Setanta. He left the Green Singers, much to their displeasure, and set out to find out what exactly had happened to the man he considered his father. After traveling for a great time, he eventually came to the city of Sharn, where he heard that Setanta had simply died of old age. lingFee at a loss, and not wanting to return to the Green Singers, he decided to find a place to sleep for the night. It was then that he happened to bumped into Bodik and Farik, who convinced him to join their guild.

Looks good so far. You can either roll 2d4 and multiply by 10 to determine your starting gold or take the average of 50gp.

Are you intending on taking an Animal Companion or are going switch that out for alternate class feature?

Information that could be useful for your character's concept:

Most (but not all) of the Druids in Eberron belong to a Druidic Sect. While each follow the guidance of the Greatpine Druid Oalian, each sect has their own guiding philosophy.

The Wardens of the Wood:
They are the largest of the modern Druidic sects. They serve as Oalian's eyes and ears and maintain the balance between the wilds and the civilized world. The Wardens also strive to destroy fiends, undead, aberrations and other creatures that they see as unnatural. When it comes to natural dangers such as dire animals and other deadly predators, they prefer to let them live in peace and away from civilization.

The Ashbound:
The Ashbound believe that civilization is a corrupting force, one that must be either driven back or destroyed before it can do lasting harm. The Ashbound are known for using violence, though some moderates seek to convince others of their misdeeds through discussion rather than destruction. The Ashbound see the use of Arcane Magic as a vile an unnatural act.

The Children of Winter:
While outsiders believe that the Children of Winter worship death and decay, this is not actually the case. Instead the Children of Winter embrace death as part of the natural order. They believe that disease and blight play a vital role in the cycle of life by weeding out the weak and infirm. The Children of Winter also believe that civilization has drawn people away from this natural cycle, allowing the weak to survive, and that nature will not allow this to continue. The Children of Winter wait for the coming plague that will cull the weak and bring forth a new spring. Children of Winter can be of any non-good alignment.

The Gatekeepers:
The Gatekeepers date back before Oalian, when the Dragon Vvaraak called upon them to serve as Eberron's champions. The Gatekeepers where the first line of defense against the other-planar daelkyr and it was the Gatekeepers that sealed the gates to the daelkyr's home plane of Xoriat thousands of years ago. Today the Gatekeepers are a shadow of their former selves - clinging to it's duties and trying to maintain the ancient seals. The Gatekeepers seek to defend nature against the unnatural and abhor abberations.

The Green Singers:
Green Singer have a close connection to the fey and maintain the connections between Eberron and the plane of Thelanis where the Faerie Court is held. They are often chaotic and hold no special agenda.

Druids cannot normally wear studded leather. There are other armors that are not listed in the SRD that a druid can wear, but the price for such items put them out of the reach of starting characters.

There are class variants out there that replace class features such as animal companion with other features, but if you don't have access to such sources it's better to stay away from them. The
Druidic Avenger is an example of a Class Variant. If you are interested in this variant remember that you can't cast spells while raging.

Animal Companion is a good class feature. As you advance in level you can swap out your companion for a different one, so there is no penalty for selecting one now if you choose to stick with the "default" druid.

You'll need to select the spells that you will have memorized at the start of the game.

I'm giving every character one extra "Background" feat which is selected from the list found here: Introductory Information (LP). I'm going to recommend that you take Greensinger Initiate and I'll wave the flaw requirement for taking it as your background feat.

Greensinger Initiate:
You have embraced the druidic traditions of the Greensingers, a chaotic Eldeen Reaches sect with close ties to the fey.

Prerequisites: Ability to spontaneously cast summon nature's ally.

Benefit: Add Bluff, Hide, and Perform to your class skills.
In addition you can cast the following spells as if they were on the Druid spell list at the indicated spell level.

1st level: Charm Person
2nd level: Daze Monster
3rd level: Displacement
4th Level: Charm Monster
5th Level: Hold Monster
6th Level: Cat's Grace, Mass
7th Level: Ethereal Jaunt
8th Level: Charm Monster, Mass
9th Level: Etheralness

You should have one extra 1st level spell per day because of your high Wisdom. Other than that, your character looks good.

Something I forgot about.

At 5th level a Druid can perform the purification ritual of his sect. The ritual is not a feat, its simply a extra benefit of being a 5th level druid. Anyone, even non-druid can participate in the ritual if they meet the rituals prerequisite. The ritual has no cost, but druids refuse to perform this ritual on anyone who does not share their beliefs and druids cannot be compelled to do so in any fashion. Any druid that performs this ritual on a unworthy character loses his spellcasting ability along with the ability to perform rituals until she undergoes atonement. The ritual requires 1 hour of uninterrupted meditation. It also requires a DC 15 Concentration check by each participant to take effect on that character. Failure means the ritual can not affect that character for 30 days. Success means that the ritual effect last a number of days equal to that character's level.

Ritual of the Timeless Soul
Prerequisite: Chaotic alignment
Benefit: You are immune to the harmful effects of flowing time due to planar travel. Time "lost" due to planar effects never catches up to you.
If you deal damage to any fey that has not already attacked you or one of your allies, this benefit ends.

I completely neglected asking what tricks your companion knows. Luas has 7 trick slots. Go ahead and fill them all, no skill checks necessary. See the OOC (LP) thread.

Recommended:
1. Attack
2. Attack - (creatures of all types)
3. Down
4. Come
5. Seek
6. Stay
7. Heel

That covers everything that Luas has done up to now.
