Message: <blockquote data-quote="MNblockhead" data-source="post: 8980642" data-attributes="member: 6796661">It was just a group of elves living in the forest with a couple Druids from the Emerald Enclave there to help. It was probably clearer to me since I read the Druid's Call prequel novel.  I'll have to rewatch to see if they failed to make that clear in the movie. [SPOILER="Spoilers from the Novel"]But in the novel, the wood elves that took Doric in have not had a Druid for a long time. Originally Doric was training as a scout. Her adoptive mother in the elf tribe suggests that she may be better fit as a druid and takes her to a sacred grove where she undergoes a test and receives items left by the tribes previous Druid.  She is sent to the Emerald Enclave to train as a druid with the expectation that she'll come back and serve the tribe. The human logging operations are an issue early in the novel but the tribe decides to merely keep a watch on them and avoid direct conflict. She is called back early from the Emerald Enclave to help her tribe as the loggers have gotten more destructive. The Emerald Enclave can't spare many of their order, but they send Doric and one other younger Druid back. Later, they send two more powerful Druids to help (including the head Druid from the group that Doric had studied under.  So there were a total of 4 druids from the Emerald Enclave that came to help the wood elves. Everyone one else were "just" a group of wood elves living in the forest.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
