Circle Of The Storm

Druids that dedicate Themselves to the circle of the storm Hail from regions That bare witness to the power behind these almighty examples of nature's cruel, unforgiving and unwavering wrath. From the peaks of mountains tall where lighting reaches its stone surface, To vast and endless deserts where The winds themselves carry a force that can shred flesh from bone and bury civilisations to be forever forgotten to time. The druids who devote themselves to the storms, understand that These events are needed to wash away the filth from the land, and start anew; be it A Monsoon to wash away the blood of war, A sandstorm to bury the sins of the past or a Clash of thunder, striking down to Remind the world of nature's wrath. Their magic Ties in heavily with the skies and the freedom it brings, chaotic in nature and awe inspiring to gaze at... Be it to bring about a mighty change, or mightier destruction. Druids of the storm, recognise that these events exist for a purpose and to deny them this, can bring about disturbances in nature. 

These druid circles are often found in a safe, but still close proximity to focal points of these storms; referred to as the "Eyes" for how they let the presence of these storms surround them and envelop them from safety. Examples of this would be A druid circle sitting on an outcrop midway up a mountainside, sitting below a constant storm overhead with thunder and lightning. Another, would be Upstream of a river where the rains bring a mighty flood every season to wash away the bones and blood of prey animals below that have been caught by predators when venturing close to drink from its waters... They embody, Not destruction incarnate. but the changes and the purpose behind these events and what they mean for the balance of the world. While not ones to halt a storm naturally occurring, they are not as cruel as to let it harm innocents if not necessary. Wielders of the four winds, they direct And alter the path of storms whenever capable and needed to preserve life... but are able to call upon them in times needed too, to remove life from the cycle as needed.
