I'm more focusing on the word 'prevalent'.You briefly become one with nature and gain knowledge of the surrounding territory. In the outdoors, the spell gives you knowledge of the land within 3 miles of you. In caves and other natural underground settings, the radius is limited to 300 feet. The spell doesn't function where nature has been replaced by construction, such as in dungeons and towns.
You instantly gain knowledge of up to three facts of your choice about any of the following subjects as they relate to the area:
- terrain and bodies of water
- prevalent plants, minerals, animals, or peoples
- powerful celestials, fey, fiends, elementals, or undead
- influence from other planes of existence
- buildings
For example, you could determine the location of powerful undead in the area, the location of major sources of safe drinking water, and the location of any nearby towns.
Let's say, in a jungle area, there is a village of halflings. If you focus the spell around the village, the 'prevalent people' would be halfling?
If the Druid Leader of the tribe needs to locate a lost halfling child who has wandered out into the jungle, can you use commune with nature to find them or is it just going to tell me, "yeah, there are halflings in the area."
The spell seems to give detailed knowledge of whatever you're asking for. For example it says, "gain knowledge of Powerful Undead" and "Determine the location of powerful undead in the area". Which makes me think the spell would give me the location of the prevalent people (halfling, in this case) in the area. So, maybe the location of a village or concentration but, potentially, details on specific individuals - especially if they are the only 'person' within the area.
Or if the halfling has been kidnapped by humans, way out, away from the village of halflings, if the Druid were to cast the spell within range of the humans(some of the only 'peoples' in the area), will the spell only say, "the prevalent people's are human" or can I specify halflings?
