Greensingers

"You say you love me? You love me as you love the spring rain—but can you still love the torrent? Can you love the hurricane?"
—Kaelyn Windsong, Greensinger
  In the Towering Wood stands a region known as the Twilight Demesne—a place of fey magic, where dryads watch from the trees and satyrs dance in moonlit groves. Here, the borders between Eberron and the faerie realm are thin; step into a shadow, and you might slip through to the other side.   If the Twilight Demesne is the marriage of Eberron and Thelanis, the Greensingers are the fruit of this union. The members of this sect are filled with the vibrant energy of the fey, and chaos is in their very essence. To Greensingers, life is a wild dance and a celebration to be embraced, but they are not buffoons or jesters. Greensingers are always willing to pull strings to make the dance more interesting. Though some try to spread joy and laughter, the fey can be cruel, and the Greensingers mirror this capriciousness.   While some Greensingers learn the traditions of the sect in Eberron, many have a closer bond to Thelanis, the Faerie Court. The lords of Thelanis draw courtiers and entertainers from Eberron, and many Greensingers spend time in the halls of the Faerie Court before returning to Eberron to act as ambassadors, servants, and spies for the fey lords. These individuals can serve as guides to Thelanis (and perhaps other planes), but they cannot always be trusted; their motives are as mysterious as the fey themselves.  
"Ah, the Greensingers. Often overlooked, but never wisely."
—The Great Druid Oalian

Structure

The Greensingers are unusual in that the sect consists largely of half-elves (nearly one-half their number), elves, and humans, with few shifters among them. They are concentrated in the Twilight Demesne, thriving in the woods linked to Thelanis by the manifest zone there.   The Greensingers have no leader and no fixed communities. They may seem flighty and unreliable, but they consider themselves unfettered by the rigid ways of thinking that bind others so tightly. All members have an equal voice whenever they gather.   Among the more influential and colorful Greensingers is Silvertongue (CN male elf druid 12). A master of deception and a lover of riddles, he is the oldest living member of the sect, his original name long forgotten. Kaelyn Windsong (CN female half-elf druid 7/bard 3) is renowned for her beautiful voice and her cruel jests. Dorias Brightblade (NG male half-elf ranger 4/druid 1) is a handsome individual held in high favor in the Faerie Court. Thorn Dancer (CN female shifter ranger 5/Eldeen ranger 3) is one of the few shifters in the sect, a wild and untamed spirit.
