Some tribes of The Wood Elves have druids that have dedicated their life to conserve and tend to the areas where the blue moss grows. Some are also known to spread the blue moss in new habitats, but how they get the blue moss to take root and thrive, is a well-guarded sacred secret of the wild tribes and not known to the public.
