Legends of Belariath
Classes
Druid
Druids are beings in touch with nature and her gifts. They rarely follow any agenda other than their own save for that of nature herself. They are the light or the darkness of nature. Still gifting Gaea with their knowledge or rather gathering it from her in their own interpretation of how life should be lead or perhaps to follow it. All however agree on one thing, if the forest itself that they watch out for is damaged, watch out for that angry druid that will begin a never ending hunt for the one that dared intrude and then heal what damage has been done. After all, this is the will of nature, a neutral eye view, a way of their life they will always see and will never be swayed from.

Mindset:
Druids are beings in touch with nature and her gifts. They rarely follow any agenda other than their own save for that of nature herself. They tend to be neutral in most matters until either their own selves or nature are threatened. They tend to prefer a balance as a rule and will work to keep it as they see fit. The range from dark to light depending on the druid, the darker choosing to interpret Gaea's will to that which best suits them, tending to favor the darker more destructive guises of nature than their lighter brethren, though either can manipulate the forces of nature to their best advantage.
Concept:
Druids are being blessed with the grace of mother earth. They understand how she has set up the natural scheme of things and are in tune with her will. The typically are defenders of her domains, though some pursue this more militantly that others.
Advantage:
Voice of Gaea
Druids have the ability to be understood by the creatures of nature. This does not mean that they speak the language of the creatures, but their voice is translated by Gaea directly to the woodland entities that have an animal intelligence or above. This does not mean the creatures will do as the druid says, only that they will be able to understand him.
Disadvantage:
Unable to Harm Nature
A druid will not actively do anything he knows will bring harm directly to nature. He may do something and then it turn out that way, but he will not willingly do it if he knows the outcome. Again this is subject to the mindset of the druid; some might hunt to protect the natural balance or burn a section of forest to help the overall growth. They are always very careful though when doing these tasks. The overall goal is always the furthering of nature.
