The
Druids inhabiting the northern
forests of Scosglen developed their magic independently from the
eastern mage clans. They served as the warrior-kings of their tribes,
usually living apart from their people in massive stone towers that
were covered with vines and ivy. As masters of the natural world, they
were able to control living creatures and the very forces of nature.
Perhaps the most
notable power of these Druids is their
ability to change their form into that of an animal. Because of this
ability, the tribes under their rule knew that they could be watched at
any time. The sight of what was thought to be a common beast
transforming into a vengeful Druid kept many a potential uprising in
check.
The Druid
controls
both Elemental and Prime magic. His
Elemental powers give him control over fire, earth, and the winds. His
Primal bond with nature allows him to command many beasts and plants,
summoning hawks, wolves, vines, and even natural spirits to do his
bidding. He can also change his own shape into creatures such as a huge
cave bear or a dire wolf, and then use these forms to call upon further
powers.
