The Druids of Feyworld

The druids of Feyworld are traditionally a secretive cult who once thrived only in the hidden “backwaters” of the world. Even after the conclusion of the Second Anchorage, they are often incorrectly viewed as priests by the outside world and, though they do often officiate at religious ceremonies and provide spiritual support to their communities, they are also philosophers, scholars and judges. In Gaelish societies, high-ranking druids are often accorded the respect of a king or clan chieftain and may even serve in that capacity (though a druid-king tends to be rare). Druids tend to have a strong connection to the Otherworld as well, and druids count among their members the few mortals who can operate in the Otherworld as easily as they can in this world. As with most Gaels, the druids follow the traditions of the Tuatha de Dannan, or the Children of Danu, a group of deities who, unlike the Old Gods who created the world, attained deification by transcending their mortal bodies.

The tumultuous events of the last century forced the druids to consider moving out of the hinterlands and into territories that traditionally follow the Old Gods. Their path into the more “civilized” lands is fraught with danger, but the Land calls out to them in pain, seeking respite from the neglect of the Old Gods.
