The mali’aheral druidess would peer upon the parchment intrigued at seeing an announcement from her old kin. The contents however causes a faint frown to form upon her lips before exhaling a soft breath. “Jealously and arrogance clouding this one’s thoughts. It appears impurity has seeped into their minds once again, tainted by petty emotions just like how lessers so easily display. How utterly disgraceful.” She would simply speak. The druidess giving a slight shake of her head while the frown would fade away to reveal a calm, serene like appearance upon her facial features. With the parchment now rolled up to place into her white leather bag, she would move with grace to silently walk further into the forest.

What do you think of me? If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be? Are you capable of playing an evil char to where I can’t see you as an adorable little halfling?

‘Tap...’ The young druidess’s hand would get brushed against with her fingers coming into contact with very soft fur. A faint purring echoing within the melodies she had fallen lost into that depicted a certain lingering feeling in the air as she aimlessly wandered along. It was rather unclear how long the large grey lynx had followed her, only that it’s golden eyes seem to peer up towards her face as if studying the druidess’s facial features every now and then. Even with communion, it gave no response or seem to care too. Having only the silence she knew so well spoken between them, signalling perhaps it was the same animal from long ago. An occasional fluff of its fur before a release of breath gave the large feline a casual appearance as it seem to walk by her side for quite a long time.

I’ll go ahead and answer these points since it seems you are either seeking this out or assume it was never thought about. 1. Yes and No. Within the canon lore as nature started to be created, it was primal, chaotic, destructive and to a point of unable to really grow or be viable to live on. The Aspects saw this and came down, each giving something to aid nature in finally balancing itself to where it can thrive and grow to what we see canonically today. As for the ‘ideal’ that more falls with each group or individual druid of how they see the balance of nature and wish to protect it. Though the magic itself does allow them to hear nature and go by how to aid if its disturbed. It is in the end with how a druid takes that, falling on an IC point of view. 2. Actually this was questioned and while it is ‘allowed’, your lore also states that if a dark shaman captures a lesser nature spirit, druids can feel the strain of the natural bodies being tormented which in short, being unnatural. 3. shamanism and their abilities to do those things you listed have been questioned numerous times, however it is allowed because the spirit Freygoth and some of the other nature spirits are embodiment of nature itself taking on a physical form. This however doesn’t mean by what they are doing (which in alot of cases is force changing things from its natural state to something else under w/e the shaman wants) is by any means considered natural and is responded to accordingly. Now of course, this can be debated and usually falls by individual cases of what is going on as spirits are rather fickle and tend to do what they please. 4. I don’t see how this is relevant, but alright. Alchemy takes herbs from the natural world and uses its properties to combine with others to form something new. This can go to the extreme as we have seen and create new forms of ‘life’ which then are questioned and some even seen as massively horrid works of nature. Chimeras a good example. But still, that’s its own thing there. 5. I don’t see how this is relevant either, but i’ll enlighten this matter. Yes, all of nature is dependent upon lifeforce, as with all living things of this world. While druids could manipulate this lifeforce with a bit of nature spice, necromancers were the masters of all lifeforce and thus was able to give and take it. This doesn’t mean it was exactly ‘good’ by any means, more just able to effect a living thing. 6. Ah, Way of the Oaks. A very interesting ideology that I do definitely see within this lore submission. But that is what it is, a viewpoint and a very neat one that I actually did enjoy reading, but in the end, this doesn’t really have anything to do with what people are trying to state with this lore submission. I don’t deny the existent of the Old Lords though, but again you linked an IC viewpoint. While dark shamanism, shamanism, and alchemy have their own forms of messing with the natural world, it is still unique in their own way of doing things. Hope that answers all your bullet points and if you have anymore questions, feel free to pm me or poke me on discord. As for what people are trying to state with this lore, It isn’t really so much that ‘Oh its dark druidism again, lame’. That is an assumption that is immediately stated without looking at the overall issue with this lore. There’s nothing wrong with someone trying to make a Dark Druidism or a druidism that doesn’t have a deity. HOWEVER, with any magic, you need to have a uniqueness to it. What others are trying to state here is that this is a lore submission of a magic that is almost mimicking another and barely any differences other than ‘it lacks a deity’. Which unfortunately isn’t going to cut it when its up for review. Other issues are state with its race lock to specific races. That immediately will be a deny as we, the Story Lore Team Sect, have stated in our lore submission guidelines when one makes new lore. Then we have the list of abilities. Abilities that for the most part, can be done with druidism as current or is a twist to what abilities they have. Which doesn’t exactly give a defined uniqueness to this lore. If you want this to take off or be accepted, it needs to show how it stands out from the rest. Not only have minor differences or slight twists in abilities just so it fits a ‘viewpoint’ some have regarding nature and the realm.

The Druidess reads the parchment and begins to plan on her visit to see her fellow Brothers and Sisters.

In regards to this thread involving several races removed from Core Lore and deemed a culture, this has been brought to the attention of the team and we will be looking into this. The discussion that is being referred to happened early last year with many of the Core Lore races and what not brought into question. While this was discussed, the decision however on removing races and making them cultures was not finalized at all or even spoken about in months. Which when the push for things to be done before 7.0 was launched, normal steps that should’ve been taken were not and thus we apologize for this. We completely understand your concerns on this matter and what it is in regards to the playerbases here and will be looking to clarify/clear up this issue.

The Druidess would read over the parchment that was publicly displayed, exhaling deeply at the responses going on between both parties. Though as she looked upon the first demand Aegrothond required, a flash of emerald hue would cast within her eyes before fading away quickly afterwards. It was then the mali’aheral would give a slight shake of her head and after finishing reading the rest of it, would move to depart back towards the Sage Way Sanctuary. “Much wind pours from your mouth.” Her voice would utter quietly as she gracefully moved down the path.

The back of the Mother Grove was rather quiet during this time with the chill of the south lingering upon the wind that gently blew across the canopy of the tree where young Druidess was. Yet even while she wept silently in despair and sorrow, she would come to find that eventually she wasn’t alone. The branch that held her quite easily creaked only just, most likely drawing her attention towards the large feline now staring at her with its golden gaze. Two elongated ears perked up towards her direction and alert while its soft, grey fur holding what appears to be an emerald shimmer across its surface every now and then. Yet it wasn’t clear given the light of the sun reflecting on it. The lynx was silent even if she tried communing with it. Silence...quiet....something both her and the animal seem to relate and understand. It was with this realization most likely that the animal would then lower down to rest on the branch next to Druidess. It adjusted rather casually with one back leg a little stretched off edge while its eyes seemed to peer out towards the view that was laid before them. If she attempted to touch the lynx’s head or fur in a manner to stroke it, the feline would allow her to do so and very faintly emit a purr in a rather content way. The lynx of course would remain until she found the need to eventually get down. Though upon her landing on the soft grass below and looking up to see where the lynx was, the feline would have vanished from sight.....

“Mm..” The Druidess would murmur quietly to herself as she read the tome some before gracefully moving to depart towards the Sage Way Sanctuary.

“Sister, that one is a known fire caster, dark arts user that horrifically tortures, and has as history attacking druids, elven, and the like. It’s quite intriguing this one would even announce himself so publicly.” The Druidess would casually speak towards the Autumn Druid upon seeing the parchment. @Aethling
