The Mist Weavers

The Mist Weavers are the self-appointed guardians of Hiisimetsä Forest. They work to protect the forest's natural balance and its magical secrets from outside threats.
The organization consists primarily of rangers and druids, with a few carefully selected wizards specializing in illusion magic. Members are drawn from those who show a deep connection to the forest and a commitment to its protection.

• Mist Manipulation. Members can control the forest mists to create illusions, obscure paths, or misdirect intruders.
• Beast Speech. Many Mist Weavers can communicate with the forest's animals, using them as scouts and messengers.
• Nature Magic. Druids in the group can call upon the forest itself for aid, animating trees or causing rapid plant growth to impede enemies.

Initiation

Joining the Mist Weavers requires a grueling initiation process, including tests of forest knowledge, magical aptitude, and moral character. Members take a magical oath of secrecy, with severe consequences for betrayal.

Relations

The Mist Weavers maintain cautious relationships with the rulers of Isenfjord. While not officially recognized, their role in protecting Hiisimetsä is tacitly acknowledged and appreciated by the Thane.

Legends

Some tales speak of Mist Weavers being able to step into the mists and emerge in distant parts of the forest or even in the Feywild. Whether this is truth or merely rumor remains a mystery to outsiders.
