Druids are the guardians of the wilderness and its natural balance, defending their territory against the encroachment of all that is a violation of nature.

In EFU druids derive their powers from ancient tradition and nature itself and need not be a servant of a specific deity. Specifically this means you do not need a god such as "Silvanus" in your deity slot, and could put something as abstract as "Nature" or "Destruction" or whatever else might fitting for your druid concept. Nonetheless, druids that violate key oaths or who do not take their duties seriously will swiftly lose their ability to cast spells. | ||

Calling upon ancient and strange oozes and slimes, Primordial druids believe their wards are the oldest and most important forms of life | Calling upon ancient and strange oozes and slimes, Primordial druids believe their wards are the oldest and most important forms of life in existence. Typically, they view acids as a cleansing force of renewal, and their methods can bring them into conflict with other druids who take a more careful and precise approach to the balance. | ||

Rot Druids spread decay, rot, disease and often form alliances with a strange race of insectoid people known as the formians. Their ways emphasize the natural decay of life. Rot Druids gain access custom wild shape forms and if they apply for the Rot lair they may receive other, specialized benefits. This is a very difficult class to gain, but perhaps harder to play. It typically involves extreme loneliness and few (if any) allies. | |||
