Druids

Druids are the most ancient of the forestal classes, devoted to the forests and all they represent. Although their isolationist nature has tended to remove them from the great events of history, the formation of the forest commune of Eleusis in modern times has given these metamorphing grove users power that extends beyond their beloved forests.

Druids

The skills of a Druid are rooted in forest and beast. Perhaps the most important is the ability to establish a location in the forest as a personal grove, from which the sun's power flows. Within his Grove, none can stand against a Druid; there they reign supreme, backed by the full power of the forest. Swarms of bees will attack enemies, a golem can be made to guard the grove, lightning may be called down, thorny vines commanded to hurt and hinder your enemies, and far more.

Outside of the grove, Reclamation allows all of the land to be returned to nature, whilst Metamorphosis places the ranging powers of the squirrel, the grizzly bear, and even the mighty wyvern at the Druid's fingertips.

Groves

Groves is the skill of interacting with the great forests of Achaea. It will allow you to establish a private Grove from which you will base your power. Groves absorb and accumulate sunlight, which you use to power the abilities. Every night, you will lose some of the sunlight, as the Grove must maintain itself even when everything else is sleeping soundly. Further, most abilities in Groves will use up some of this sunlight energy. Before you can make a Grove of your own, you must use your abilities to discover an unclaimed forest location.
