Another year, another missive to the known Circles and individuals who align themself with the Druidic clause. This one scented in marine notes, written on the fly.

To those who hold the title of Druid, and those elsewise who bear weight in their efforts.

     Once more, hello everyone! This is simply a letter sent with intent to inform those of our assembled circles that the meeting will be taking place a fraction earlier this year. Though for those can not make it? I and at least a few other will be more then willing to offer aide in mending the leyline when the time best arises to do so. May we see faces new and old. As ever, the Land of Blossoms will be our assembly point. With any luck, we may have as peaceful and straight forward a time as last year.

But as ever, hope for the best. Prepare for nothing so simple.

With Tranquility and Hope. Ban Dai, Verdant Seeker of Arcadia

Lately, druids across Meranthe seem to vision images of a similar landscape :

Somewhere in an non determined circular chain of mountain similar to a caldeira, there is a forest within its hollow. Their dream dive deeper in the forest, and can find an odd clearing exposed to the sun or moonlight. A circle of cut trunks is scattered in this clearing. And then the image fades.

This scenery seems to repeat regularly in these recent nights. Eventually, a missive is sent from the retainers of the Realm of Eternal blossoms towards its druids and its allies.

Greetings dear friends and allies,

The last years have been long for me. I have managed to catch up with some of you individually while I was preparing a specific ritual for us and continue our lessons.
It is finally done, and we are soon ready to continue our classes on a very specific subject : Dreams.

Unfortunately, this class' practice will only be done with those who have managed to practice the arts. Students can still be part of the introduction and presentation, as I will be able to answer your questions. But in practice, it won't be possible to continue unfortunately.

I am looking forward to teach you with a new insight, a very important breakthrough to modern druidism.

"It hasn't been a while, hasn't it ? Shall we meet again ?"

While the stars of Krausmas shone above Meranthe, Sylvester Galeland has been absent from the Realm. Rumors from the retainers guarding the Realm would tell that even within the Spirit Realm and beyond, Kraumas is celebrated too. Who knows who they have met for these past two years.

However, the druids of the Circle of Acorns along with their allies would receive soon a letter containing the following message.

My dear friends, and allies, students and faithfulls,

I pray that the blessing of Krausmas has been kind to all of you. A rare period that happens only a moment between a while that allows to bond closer to our beloved people and a celebration of the beauty of Eternia that has been built through the eons. Each star that is created during this period is a symbol of love and care.

Even if the celebrations are over, I would like to spend some time again with those who have been following me these last past 10 years. I have met many pleasant faces, and even as an emissary from beyond the mortal realm, I am glad of the friendships we have established.

Let us gather together to talk, catch each other about our doings. Perhaps if time allows, we shall also make a small trip within Meranthe.

 I will also inform that, after this ? The final class for wildshaping will be done within the Meadow of Dreams. I am sure many of you are ahead already, but I shall teach you some secrets about this ritual. 

With my warmest regards, 
Sylvester Galeland

Friendly meeting between students and friends : Friday 9th at 4:30PM EST
Druidism class for "Wildshaping" : Sunday 11th at 2PM EST

Due to a specific request, quick missives are sent to inform that the class will finally be done in the Realm of Eternal Blossoms.

Some Decades ago, Nature has been turbulent through the Scars Meranthe has endured through the centuries of wars, calamities and blessings. A sudden event happened, with the Leylines of Meranthe breaking and disrupting, letting an excess of otherwordly energy disperse through the regions in unorganized concentrations.

Such event has allowed an old form of magic extinct in Meranthe to return in consequence, with the return of Druidism. Some magi, who were close already to the aspects of Nature and Life, were able to receive such enlightement for their bodies to attune once more to this forgotten magic. While others followed the teachings of an otherwordly emissary.

After these years of practice, those new druids have achieved new feats, and have managed to soothe the inner bruises of Meranthe to appease the Leyline's disruptions and wash away remnants of past Corruptions. Nature has been able to rest finally for a moment to recover from its pain, cared by those It has shared their powers.

The Year is now 2212AC

Despite the rising conflict between nations and Peace disrupted, Nature continues to Strive. However, its Winds shift with an odd imbalance. The Tides seem to navigate across Meranthe randomly, outside of its regular curents. Nothing yet catastrophic happened, those are more inconvenience for those who rely on wind for their routine. However, commoners seem to report an increase of unusual behaviours in the wilderness.

However, these unusual winds traversing Meranthe seem to trigger an itch to those who dedicate their lives to Nature and the Living. It feels as if something was observing them. Those who are the most passionned and creative, may find themselves accompagnied with unusual blooming dreams. Perhaps, a strange silhouette may appear too.

Intrigued to see if there may be new potential students as a last ressort for those who can not seem to find current teachers.

Perhaps there is a way to meet thise figure ?

OOC notes :

Hello ! After dealing with 2 months of IRL issues, then finishing a backlog of other projects, I am returning back to continue following my mentoring on the topic of Druidism. Be it teaching, giving ideas or helping players develop their own gimmick or ideas, you are welcome to either meet my character or DM me any questions on that subject !

If you want a scene also, you can DM me on Discord at "tristrian", so we can arrange a date (EU timezones sadness...)

For current druids also, you can DM me if you want me to SPICE up your Leylines gatherings with unexpected events/consequences !  Very good if you want to break the routine and have some variety.

DRUID CLASSES
2215 AC - 2216 AC

Greetings, friends, family, newcomers!

In the Realm of Eternal Blossoms, many classes about Druidry will be open for those that wish to learn and acclimate themselves with the natural world, its ecosystems, its organisms, and the Lifestream.

Therefore, I will be scheduling a class every few months with new pieces of information about the art of Druidism and formally invite all, new and already capable of attuning with the world, to learn from Sylvester Galeland and myself, Nymphaea Aubreen, to understand the dynamics of the world work together and how we ourselves can help change it or aid it.

Below this invitation will be the scheduled times of when each class and its particular subject will be officially hosted!

Sincerely,
Nymphaea Aubreen

While the Circle organises and individually assists each of the students to answer their question to any lacking subjects, a missive is sent to the students and other allies interested in the efforts of the Circle of Acorn.

Greetings,

I hope your practices are going well.

Outside of our normal scheduled classes, I am glad to inform that there will be a sudden field trip in nature, where you will be able to witness some of the phenomenons we have talked in class.

This will be a perfect occasion to get a closer grasp to the primal forces that embody Nature.

Other druids are welcome to attend, so they may assist in the practical lessons.

We will gather to the Realm of Eternal Blossoms before our journey.

I am looking forward to meet you,

Your teacher Sylvester Galeland.

16th April 4:30PM EST
