Circle of the Moon Organization in Toriel | World Anvil

Circle of the Moon

Druids of the Circle of the Moon are fierce guardians of the wilds. Their order gathers under the full moon to share news and trade warnings. They haunt the deepest parts of the wilderness, where they might go for weeks on end before crossing paths with another humanoid creature, let alone another druid.   Changeable as the moon, a druid of this circle might prowl as a great cat one night, soar over the treetops as an eagle the next day, and crash through the undergrowth in bear form to drive off a trespassing monster. The wild is in the druid’s blood. Many seek the power of this ancient druidic circle to protect themselves or their home, and those who can't harness the full range of druidic power, but are just as bestial become strong warriors following the path of the beast.

Perks

Members of the circle of the Moon gain the following benefits:  
  • Equipment. Each member of your party has a druidic focus, even if it isn’t needed for spellcasting. This focus is often a tusk or bone from a dead magical beast.
  • Proficiencies. Each member of your party gains proficiency in the Survival skill, if the character doesn’t already have it.
 

History

After the War of the Ancients, Nillian Loth was free to experiment with the druids' shape-shifting abilities. Discovering hidden power among the beast he could transform into, Nillian set guidelines for all future druids to follow, and with his pair's blessing formed the Circle of the Moon in 4767 BD. With his love to Eithne Flosthùl, he made this circle mission to protect the deepest part of the forests, the part her wife cherished.   Many myths surround lycanthrope, and their connection to the moon, and druid of this circle, focusing on shapeshifting, were often mistaken for those monsters. It is due to this confusion, that the circle was named like this. Additionally, numerous druids of this circle worship the moon goddess, Selune, taking on the form of nocturnal predator, they hope for the goddess blessing during their night hunt.   Amny followed the teaching of the moon druid, but couldn't harness the full power, soon those warriors of feral instinct but lacking the spark with the Weave became a new cast of warriors, beast warriors.
