Emerald Enclave
The Emerald Enclave was an organization of druids and other nature worshipers on the island of Ilighôn. The actions of the Enclave influenced the lives of the high and low, its members avoiding good and evil to focus on the needs of the natural world and resist the growing influence of humankind. Despite their primary goal of preserving nature, members were not direct opponents of progress; they preferred instead to work with civilized folk to promote the health of the natural world without resorting to acts of violence.
After the Spellplague hit, and with their island becoming part of the Turmish mainland due to the receding waters of the Sea of Fallen Stars, the organization became perverted and xenophobic, bent on destroying all forms and manifestations of the Spellplague.

Demography and Population
Members of the Emerald Enclave did not wear uniforms, instead, each individual was adorned with an article of clothing or jewelry green in color. Most commonly it was a green pendant, or a pair of emerald earrings. Druids of high standing could be discerned by their eyes that turned bright green color and shimmered with Silvanus's holy symbol.
All members of the Enclave were taught the unique language – "druidspeak", that had some similarities to thieves' cant. "Druidspeak" was never taught to outsiders and it usually took a year or more to learn it.
Divine Origins
The Emerald Enclave of the post-Spellplague era believed that the natural order had to be respected and preserved and that forces that would upset that natural order should be destroyed. They were also to keep elemental forces in check and prevent the wilderness and civilization from wiping out one another. They also accepted that the wilderness could be harsh, and some could not survive in it without aid, so they would help them.
Tenets of Faith
Dogma
The original aims of the Enclave were six-fold:

- Control human expansion
- Recognize that nature encompassed more than just forests
- Agree that magic should not be used for mass destruction
- Warn against the use of magic on a grand scale for fear of unexpected side effects
- Present a united front to the outside world.
