The druidic sects of Khorvaire are as organized and established as any divine faith. You have spent your life in the service of a druidic sect, serving as an intermediary between civilization and the wild. You are trained in the rituals and rites of your sect; you can offer both spiritual and practical guidance to those who follow you into the wilderness. You don't have to be a druid, and you might not be able to perform magic, but you understand the primal mysteries of your sect, and the world itself is your temple. 

Choose a druid sect from the following list: the Ashbound, the Children of Winter, the Gatekeepers, the Greensingers, or the Wardens of the Wood. Talentan halflings can select the Maskweavers, and a Valenar elf could select the Siyal Marrain. (You could also work with your DM develop a new nature-focused order.) Were you a youth brought up learning about the seasons and solstice from the rural priests of your homeland? Perhaps you were a warden watching over travelers, an initiate performing the sacred rites, an advisor guiding a farming community, and it is up to you to discern why you decided to leave.

Suggested Characteristics

You're shaped by your devotion to the ideals of your sect and the time you've spent in the wilds. You have little experience with large cities and the demands of high society.

1	Protection. The common people must be protected from the dangers of the natural world, and nature must be defended from the ignorance and greed of outsiders. (Wardens of the Wood)
