  • Society & Culture

    The Druids of the Veil are a deeply spiritual, nomadic culture bound to Tarnith’s wild rhythms. They believe the land is alive, breathing with the will of the spirits and the cycles of nature. They do not build cities, but travel between sacred cairns, henges, and groves aligned with seasonal leyline flows.   They live in harmony with the Sacred Cycle—Renewal, Vitality, Reflection, and Dormancy—observing each phase with rites, fasting, offerings, and ancestral storytelling. They are the foremost keepers of spirit lore, guiding souls between realms and defending the fragile balance of the Verdant Veil.  

    Appearance and Customs

    Druids wear robes of barkcloth, vine-thread, and dyed feathers. Their skin may bear moon ash sigils or flower-stained markings, each tied to season, rank, or vision. Antler charms, moss braids, and ritual knives made from obsidian or bone are common among elders.
