Druids of Rynn
The Druids of Terra Rynn tend to be reclusive, and often keep to the edges of civilization. More Amenable druids will wander the countryside, tending to harvests and instructing farmers on techniques to take care of the land, and prevent its abuse. More militant sects, however, may work towards undermining society on the frontier, and encourage settlers to find home elsewhere.
Druids are organized into Circles, Sects, and Domains. Circles represent the traditions of knowledge and wisdom a druid has been instructed in. A druid's domain includes the territory under their protection, or the protection of a network of druids. A Sect represents the the social and political goals of a group of druids. A sect helps to organize druids in some manner, and allow druids as a whole to respond to catastrophic events or natural disasters that may threaten the natural order.
The associations between druids is constantly shifting, however. Outsiders often fail to recognize an individual druid’s relationships, both to society, as well as to each other. The nature of a druid's alliances is one of fluidity, which makes negotiations with outsiders difficult, as agreements made with a certain sect may not include all druids in that domain, and vice versa.
Cinderwoad
The Cinderwoad is a domain of druids in Western Kreata. Most of its members are primarily Kelta, and inhabit the wildlands around the Salndahe forest. Heirs to great cataclysm, where a primordial seed unleashed an army of elementals that nearly destroyed the region, the druids of the Cinderwoad seek to guard the scars of that great event from ever being unleashed again, and to help restore the forest and the land once more. While main guard the region against would be trespassers, a few venture from the domain in search of knowledge on how to restore it to its primal beauty.Mangair
The Mangair is a sect of the oldest Kelta Druids in Western Kreata. Descendants of the first druids, so they say, the Mangair claim dominion over all Kelta lands, and seek to preserve and elevate the influence of the natural spirits above any other worship. For this reason, they often come into conflict with small heretical sects of Mysraelites still within Kelta, as well as foreign evangelists and settlers. Many older kelta respect the mangair for their dedication to preserving their traditions, though some younger families worry that the mangair are two reactionary.Sangunach
The Sangunach are a sect of younger druids, predominantly raised in the traditions of the circle of the moon. While many are of kelta decent, they are usually open to members from other races, and count humans, half-elves, and even half-orcs among their ranks. Sangunach are a disaffected group, and tend to be primarily interested in self preservation, and the protection of their territory from settlers and hunters. If displaced, Sangunach may submit to temporary alliances with others in an effort to secure new territory.
