History of the Path

The First Druid
As told by Druid Licht

The storm raged on like a midnight Dragon forged by moonlight. Lightning cracked and lit the skies with a ferocious blue and cold white. Waves crashed against the sandy shores of Jinhan. Tarshin held his precious jewel daughter close as the pressured squalls succeeded into the village. The tempest winds had taken hold of Tarshin's home, and shredded the roofing like a barbarian warrior cutting into mortal flesh. He could not wait any longer.

With all hope and divine trust, he squirmed across the now devastated cooking space, and towards the valiant rains. The pelts of sleet and ice bruised Tarshin's back and neck while he headed forth to a thick forest of tall cedar trees. The beast of black clouds continued to attack the two shrouded figures. Tarshin held his remaining family in his arms, she was crying from the constant chaos which had developed from all corners of Nature. As Tarshin ran in his soaked leather hide boots, the clouds of darkness parted. Like an attack from the gods, the mighty clouds, threw forth a white thick string of electricity - striking Tarshin to the ground. He died instantly, and his daughter laid beneath his warm body...

The sun had woken LilCutiePie. Its warm rays of yellow light shone brightly through the forest greens, and blue raindrops from the previous night. She had awakened to a realm and place unknown to her, but she was not afraid. She walked for sometime in the glades of emerald hues and wondrous glories. Flowers bloomed like a secret garden, and weather was splendid and fair. She was only five, but still old enough to realize her father's disappearance. Where had he gone? she thought. Just hours ago she imagined the great storm of the elements, attacking her home and neighbors. Now though, all was lost and forgotten in this magical gathering which she had traveled to...

..Your destiny. is here........................

The voice seemed to travel in infinite directions through the forests, LilCutiePie searched through orchards and meadows, across seas and beaches, mountains and valleys. The voice was not to be found. Lost now, and hopeless she sat on the nearby stump of a large Oak tree. She whined seemingly to Heaven with great heaves of sorrow. Her soul cried for knowledge of what had happened, why was she alone and lost in these strange lands. with no signs of reality or humanity.

.. this... is your...Fate....

The light of the sun drew close to her. It was as if the brightest star had fallen from the sky and came directly to her. The white glowing orb shaped from the sun, drifted to form before her. White and silver pulsated and swirled in strands of prism beams. As a celestial being of a Woman stepping forth from the floating puddles of life like lightning, greeted her. The woman was robed in white and silver, reflecting all the beauty and power of the Moon. With a gentle smile and soft touch to LilCutiePie's forehead, the forests melted away and reformed the cold stone walls of a Kingdom...

She remembered the past. Her father's death, the enchanted forests. Those were a countless number of years ago. By now she was surely the age of eighteen or more. Hetile had taken extreme care of her. After all, she was the one whom had found her, half lifeless in the wooden groves outside of Jinhan. "So. this is where I lay my head to rest for eternity..". She was not excited about the theories of Kingdom, and after all, she had grown up in the wilderness almost completely during her known life. How could she be contained inside this, prison? Years passed and LilCutiePie learned of Herbs and ancient treasures. Mostly enlightenment from townie Philosophers and Scholars. All this was impressive, and LilCutiePie grew as wise as the Ancient Pines.

One day, the dark man came into the lands, and revealed the worst plagues of nature. LilCutiePie remembered the Storm from her childhood and how it kept her family, her friends, her spirit. This could possibly never happen again, but it seemed the storm had come again in another form..

... Your fate.. Your . .. Destiny. . .

..As the Darkstaff shattered into pieces, LilCutiePie fainted and awoke in a divine heaven. A Woman, vaguely familiar approached her.

"Is this.. a Dream. am I..."

No, was the answer of the Great Woman, but she did not speak her words. They resonated across the skies, across the universe. She was the truth, the knowledge of nature. She had greeted her once before; once as a child. The Woman spoke again..

Now is your time of Destiny,
You have been chosen, Survivor.
Of One comes forth Twelve.
.. Follow what I teach you..

With all knowledge and aspects of time gone, LilCutiePie sank forward into the arms of the kind Mother before her. The robes of moon white surrounded them both as they vanished into a devastating, blinding gateway of majestic glory.

As she awoke she found herself alive and in the hidden groves of the Oak. This place was familiar to her for she had grown up in these glens. The mysteries of the Dreams she had went further into her soul as she thought about them. The glory which she now saw through her eyes was vast and holy. Every flower petal about her seemed to want to touch her. The trees bent towards her as she walked along the well covered forgotten paths.

As she ventured into the lands she stopped at a lake. Its surface was still as glass. Mirroring the sky, the lake took on a new form. She glanced into the water filled hole, and saw the Future of the Earth...the Future of Nature.......

And now began the life of the first Druid....

Subpath Gathering

Sacred Grove (053/198 Wilderness)

Subpath Services

Nature's bloom: The Druids are always happy to supply people with flowers which Druids are able to bloom using a little bit of magic. All flowers are available excepting Yuri´s loves and are provided freely. Some Druids may also offer a flower reading to those who may be interested.

Element Alignment: All Druids have a connection with the elements throughout the kingdoms. If a person feels a connection with one of the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) such can contact a druid who has been aligned.

Nature Readings: Druid Mystics (guides) and Druid Ovates can preform readings to answer questions people may have about the future. The floura and fauna gently whisper the future into the winds. The Ovates can hear this by using the following mediums, Flower Readings and Ogham Rune Readings.

Herbalism: is a careful and mystic craft. It requires great knowledge, patience, observation skills, and great practice before it ever becomes useful. Druids can help assist people obtaining more knowledge in Herbalism.

Bardism: Bards are the artistic Druids. They are creative, and spend much time devising creative ways to express oneself. Now, granted, anyone can do events, however, the Bardic souls would be the ones who pride themselves on it, and make that the point of their service to the community.

Subpath Events

Tales Around the Fire: This event is a live Story contest run by the Bard order of the Druid path. Usually held every two weeks, the Bard trials require people to attend one of these events.
