Druidism Q&a

[Katherine1 362]

Shapeshifting is the one druid secret that is known OOC due to the fact that it needed to be implemented publicly. The lore thread for it is right here! https://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/81980-loredruid-magic-shapeshifting/

Just in case anyone saw the above replies about shapeshifting and got the idea to join the Order with the specific intent of learning the art, I will inform you all now that your efforts will be in vain. For one, we are very, very experienced when it comes to weeding out seekers looking to join the Order for Druidic magic rather than for the RP itself. Additionally, only the oldest and most dedicated Druids are even considered for the art, which means you will practically need to remain loyal to and hardworking within the Order for years in real life. In fact, even cmack who actually proposed shapeshifting in the first place, wrote the lore for it and got it implemented wasn't allowed to be taught it IC until much later on. Essentially, as great as the art is, the time and effort you'd have to put into getting it is most certainly not worth it, unless of course you focus on the fun, entertaining and creative roleplaying instead!

What do Druids eat? Do you eat meat or are you all vegetarians?

[Song Druid 1486]

Druids eat meat.  The culture isn't about veganism or anything like that.  It's about respecting and maintaining balance to nature.  I like to take inspiration from the Native Americans in that regard.

[Birdwhisperer 1174]

However, druids are all individuals who have different personal philosophies about some things. Some druids won't eat meat, while others will. The Order as a whole doesn't strictly teach veganism, though.

Oh interesting. Thanks for answering

Can halfling Druids hold the Pumpkin Lord higher than the aspects?

Some halfling druids believe the Pumpkin Lord is the Aspect Cerridwen.

[Heff 2460]

Thanks! Now I can put all the halfling Druids in jail for being hairy-ticks!

Could I have a link to the approved and implemented lore for "Soul trees" as the druids say.

 

Edit: 

 

I mean where a druid ties his soul with a tree, skin becomes wood and when dies re-sprouts from the tree and grows again. Where is the lore for this? 

 

I cannot seem too find it and I remember the lore masters stating that all current lore needs to be publicized.

[Lita 677]

Why does Aengudaemon magic break attunement, and how does Attunement get broken by the usage of Void magic if Aengudaemons are unable to revoke their gifts after giving them? (Note: I am not speaking on player-unattunement, I am referring to the immediate disconnection that I have heard occurs with the usage of any other magic type.)

I don't believe it's on the forums. You'll have to ask Rittsy for further information.

That is no longer the case, a druid is able to learn void magic without their attunement breaking but if the Order discovers it they'll be shunned and unattuned manually. It was RP'd as instant unattunement for some time, because the belief was that the Aspects would sever the attunement of a druid practicing other magic. Lago then came up with new lore for Aengudaemons, which stated that Aengudaemons wouldn't be able to remove anyone's power. So, Rittsy clarified everything and as it currently stands, your attunement cannot be broken without the other druids unattuning the person themselves.

In that case, what is the druids current point of view on other Holy magics?

They tend to appreciate other users of holy magic and work with them when the opportunity arises. A druid is still not allowed to their magic, though.

Are the Druids actually Jedi?
