Order of Thorns
The Order of Thorns is a covert brotherhood of woodsmen intent on protecting the wilderness and its wildlife. It is not the peaceful, passive order that the Greenmother's clerical order is. The Order of Thorns, actively attacks the people over logging the woods, polluting the rivers, or over hunting. The Thorns have a vicious habit of making an example of those they attack.
Thorns have been called battle-druids, though there are few druids within their ranks, and the organization rarely has more than 50 people in any given area. They can be found on most wilderness frontier towns. Notably the Cloudwood and the Deepwood are most notorious.
