The
Sacred
Grove
The knowledge
and magic of druids was discovered by an elven saint, hisname long forgotten,
who lived his entire life without injuring a single being -humanoid, enemy,
or insect, and in his latter days ceased to harm plants whenthe earth elementals
gave him the power to create his own sustenance. Thesaint resided in what
is now the Sacred Grove of Mel'anor, and through heavytrances, sleep depravation
and fatigue, the saint discovered the secrets of theSacred Grove, and it's
link to all the natural forces in the Realms. Thisknowledge can only
be fully understood in the Sacred Groves, for the entitiesexist there to
give wisdom, and some say they even enjoy teaching.
The
Druid's
Guild
Druids rarely follow deities, but instead worship
the natural spirits, elementals, forces, and
entities that live invisible to most others except druids. Many of theirspells
consist of concentrating these forces into tangible matter or harmful energy,or
asking the natural forces for protection. The source of the druid's power
aremanifest in the Sacred Groves, and different sects and communities of
druids throughout the Realms keep these groves
safe from harmful forces. The SacredGroves contain entities and power
objects (tomes) that are stored in the safehavens of the grove, making
the knowledge of the druids the most stable, whilst most
guilds lose and gain knowledge dependent on present economic situations.
