Circle of Thorns

The Circle of Thorns are part of an Ancient order that are seen as Ancient protectors of the forest, embracing the more aggressive side of nature. Some see them as Zealots hell bent on protection of nature at any cost and others see them as supernatural beings that haunt any woods they claim as theirs. To nature they are seen as hero's, that lay their bodies and life's on the line for the wellsprings of life and all that benefit from it. These druids are more of the Melee combatants than casters, they aren't as proficient at shape changing as their brethren in the circle of Moon but they are just as deadly
