The New Druid Grove

[OldeTymer 323]

((This thread mainly serves to update members of the Druidic Order, and anyone else who is interested in our affairs, of our current happenings and reasons for them.))

 

Callax smiles wide as he finishes placing his completed newspapers at the major notice boards in Anthos. The papers entail the following:

 

Why did we leave Malinor?

 

The Druidic Order has recently, and once again, relocated. Our current grove is the Cross Roads Grove, located near to the Cloud Temple and the Great Nations' Crossing. Our leave of the Mother Grove was initially because of the sure-to-be death of Malinor's large forest, however, since we've healed it, we've decided to allow it to flourish and act as holy ground to the Druids. We had then moved to the isle off-shore of New Malinor, battling to keep it more than once.

 

Our most recent repositioning is because of a few reasons. We seek to establish grounds where we are more available to the public, serving nature by serving the inhabitants of Anthos. Many Druids have also found themselves scattered across Anthos, unsure of where to go; their troubles should be no more, as we have a new home. The most pressing reason that the Druidic Order has relocated to our newest location is also because of our treatment from the Mali.

 

After the loss of their great forest, that they hardly mourned for, many Druids proactively took a hand in reviving the land, few even giving their lives for it. When we commenced the regrowing of the great forest, as is what our duty is to do, we were hindered by the Mali and forced out, given an ultimatum with unknown consequences. For now, we find it best to settle where we are warmly welcome and can properly welcome all citizens of Anthos.

 

A New Regime

 

The Cross Roads Grove is more of a grotto than a grove. Housing, offices, and other rooms are located in caverns beneath our new host tree who goes by the name "Judy." All Druids of the Order are welcome to join with us as soon as possible, however, we'll be reverting back to the old rooming systems of Elysium and Kalos.

 

There must be two members of the Order to a room; the two of you may decide how to personalize your living space. Men room with men and women room with women, for now, unless two are married. Each Archdruid has himself or herself their own office space to expand upon and personalize.

 

Some rooming areas, such as the Moot Room, and above ground projects, such as the farms, are still underway. However, our new and gorgeous grove is very near completion. Please bring any spare tomes you may have to offer to our library as well!

We have also reverted back to our former system of Archdruids, Druids and Dedicants. No Guide Druids are in place as any and all Druids should still take hand in raising Dedicants. However, if specific Druids are more keen to teaching than others, it is possible that the Guiding position will return so those individuals make "officially" take on new members of the Order.

 

A notice board has been erected and a new and official shun board shall soon be as well. The shuns of the Order are as follows: The Black Scourge, Vallel, Aislinn, and Iblees of course.

 

If you have any questions, concerns or problems finding us, send a bird to Archdruid Callax and I shall respond as soon as possible!
