Druidic Circle and the Unknown Observers

Discovery, Exploration

When the discovery at High Peak reached The Druids, a connection was drawn to the feeling of being watched during deep meditation. A circle of elders formed to investigate, ultimately discerning a benign, non-human entity observing humanity

Long before the first Kingdom of Varendor was established, a group of individuals devoted themselves to the study and reverence of nature, known as The Druids. These solitary observers lived harmoniously with the natural world, developing an unmatched understanding of the ecosystem.   The Druids became skilled herbalists, botanists, and naturalists. Their intimate knowledge of the ecosystem and its inhabitants was unmatched. Many of them lived as hermits, secluded in the wild, rarely interacting with their fellow humans. Yet, their wisdom was respected, and they were sought for their expertise in natural healing and wisdom.   As the stories of the discovery at High Peak reached these quiet sages, a subtle sense of familiarity stirred within them. For years, some Druids had reported a feeling of being watched, an intangible sense of presence that was most palpable during their deep meditations in remote locations. And even the stories from the south seemed to resonate with these experiences.   Prompted by this shared resonance, a circle of elder Druids was formed with the intent of understanding this mysterious phenomenon. They hypothesized that the strange occurrences in the south and the sensation of being observed were connected. They sought to delve deeper into these mysteries, to discern their source, and to understand their implications.   The circle embarked on a meticulous quest of study, observation, and introspection. Their exploration was both external and internal, as they ventured into uncharted territories and plumbed the depths of their own consciousness. Over time, The Druids began to sense an ever-present, but non-threatening, surveillance. An energy that was old, wise, and curious, yet distinctly non-human.   Through years of careful observation and introspection, they gradually came to realize that they were not alone. An unseen entity was observing them, as well as the rest of humanity, with a passive, but intent interest. While they could not identify the nature or origin of this entity, they discerned that it was ancient, wise, and inherently tied to the land, much like themselves. This realization did not instill fear in The Druids; rather, it deepened their curiosity and commitment to understanding these unseen watchers.   Thus began a period of intense exploration and introspection within the Druidic circle. Their understanding of the world expanded, and they became even more integral to the unfolding history of humanity on this new continent. The Druids had discovered they were not alone, but who, or what, shared their world was yet to be revealed.   Previous event
