Circle of the Elements: Druid

Those who follow the Circle of the Elements attempt to gain greater control of the raw power of the elements. Druids of this circle make a connection with a particular type of element and use their mystic energy to master it. They understand the importance of the elements in the world, as well as the necessity of balance between the elements and the other forces of the world. Unlike other druids who live in parts of the wilderness to improve their connection to nature, these druids often form communities where the elements are in their most present and violent form–scorching volcanos, arctic tundras, and mountain peaks. Members of this circle often act as guardians to the elemental planes or a protector against elementals force on the material plane. However, some see their connection as a way to reenforce balance across the world, becoming adventures.
