~*~Druidism~*~

 

Druidism is one of the most diverse deity magics within the realm. They use a blessing gifted to them from the Aspects to request from nature to enact their abilities. The abilities stretch far and wide, from simple communion with animals and plants to using blight healing to summon mists in cleansing the land. Even myths about the ability of shapeshifting are somewhat known amongst the druids yet it has not been confirmed truly. In the beginning, the origins of the druids remains unknown. Hints of the origins may lie within the druid myth book of  The Great War, but what is known for certain is the Aspects granted their blessing onto the first druid where then it continued and created more so that nature and the natural balance was preserved and protected.

These servants of the Aspects go forth and wander the land, watching and preserving  nature. Their only focus and goal is this as well as spreading the teachings so newer generations may take on the mantle to aid. The ability itself isn't as direct as one might think, it more so opens up a sixth sense in a way, merely connecting one with the natural living world. With every druid, there is some individuality yet the goal for all of them is the same. Some are kinder, some are more harsh, others simply observe, or some may enact nature's will to keep the natural balance.

What began as most druids will know was the current foundation of the Druidic Order, created by the Wayward Druid Respiren. An order made to unify brothers and sisters of druidism so that everyone can aid in the balance and spread the teachings to the realm as well as maintaining neutrality with the nations and descendants . Within the history, split offs of the Order have been made. Otherwise known as circles. Circles being formed when opposing views on how to spread druidism occurs. However the Order and the circles may be, the spreading of druidism with its core foundations are still taught and spread.
