Characters:Factions:Forestkeepers

The 'Forestkeepers', as they are commonly known, is a loosely organized association of bands, orders, and individual itinerant guardians of the forest.

As a personal identity and classification, Forestkeeper is a meaningful label. However, one should not expect any Forestkeeper to observe a chain of command that directly includes the highest levels of the organization. Most Forestkeepers who are not in positions of authority obey only their immediate group commanders and spiritual advisors. If a mandate comes down from the highest levels of Forestkeeper society, it comes through these immediate superiors.

As individuals, Forestkeepers fall into many categories. A few are shamans or druids, and a few are almost purely fighters of one stripe or another, but most Forestkeepers are schooled in multipled disciplines, including ranged combat, melee combat, woodlore, and Syulvan spellsongs.

There are a handful of Shamanic and Druidic orders included in or allied with the Woodguard, but these are mostly encountered in the deep forest and near the remnants of the Towers of Guard.

Of the people the player can meet, Andare and Lareth are Forestkeepers. Sulin, Cirades, Risartus, Tham, and Ella all know something about it. It is possible for the player to join this faction.
