Druidic

This ancient tongue, known only to the druids who walk the path of the Old Faith, is as much a part of their religion and belief as the sacred groves and stone circles where they gather.
Druidic is a language that transcends words, encapsulating the whispers of the wind, the murmur of the streams, and the deep rumble of the earth. It is said that to speak Druidic is to converse with nature, to understand the songs of birds as clearly as the speech of mortals. The language is a closely guarded secret, taught only to those who have proven their devotion to the Old Ways and the balance of the natural world.
The process of learning Druidic is one of immersion and intuition. Aspirants spend years under the tutelage of seasoned druids, learning to attune their senses to the subtle language of the wild. They learn not only the spoken words but also the intricate system of gestures and symbols that can convey meaning without sound, a necessity when the rustling of leaves or the crackling of a fire must carry one’s thoughts.
Druidic serves as the sacred language of rituals and ceremonies. It is spoken during the rites of passage that mark a druid’s journey through life, from their initiation into the circle to the solemn moment of their passing. The language is woven into the spells that druids cast, the incantations that summon the power of the elements, and the blessings that ensure the fertility of the land.
The secrecy surrounding Druidic is not born of elitism but of necessity. The language is a key to the druids’ power, a tool that could be used to great harm if it fell into the wrong hands. As such, druids swear an oath to never reveal the language to outsiders, and to protect its secrets with their lives if need be.

Writing System

The written form of Druidic is as enigmatic as its spoken counterpart. Composed of runes that draw upon the natural patterns of the world, the script is often inscribed on standing stones, within sacred texts, and upon the bark of the ancient trees within the druids’ groves.
