The Legend of Druid Grove
Summary
It is said that Valesia the Grandmaster of Druids and Gonethil the Grandmaster of Clerics created the Grove of Druids on the Summer Solstice of 1 AMR. They say that the Masters of Magic used the Wood of the Forrest to strengthen the River and motivated it to form a lake in the middle of the Forest where in it's center an Island resides this mystical island harbors a shrine that the masters used to bring forth the First Dryad Cimidace. Legends say that Cimidace was created by the Masters to empower and direct the Forest Falandul so that it would not fall pray to the chaos of the Void, the Dryad decided that she was not enough to fulfill this task and so she aske her master to help her create guardians who would assist her in this task. Thus they created Galanthea, Aradas, Betula, Amorava, Amolia and Mitlander the Ents of the Empire, but the forest was to small for all of them and so the Ents where spread all over the land to help it grow and prosper and each of them in turn created there own household. Even after all that there where still forests, mountains, grasslands and hills to protect and support and so Cimidace once again asked the Masters of Magic for help and together they created the Dryads and Ents all over the World.
It is Said that Cimidace still resides in the Dryad Grove and watches over the Empire and it's lands.
