[QUOTE="TheLostSoul, post: 1965981, member: 21237"] I see Druids as symbolizing the various forces of nature, striving, as a whole, towards balance and neutrality. Good Druids then, are forces of fertility and creation while evil represents destruction and death. The various neutral Druids also has their niches (unpredictability, predictability and balance). More niches exists within each allignment. Most also serve a spiritual purpose in their tribes/communities. When an evil Druid releases a plague upon a farming community, it is not necessarily out of malice, but rather an attempt to reestablish a new balance (it does not really matter if the area currently is in balance, the Druid might see differently. This goes for all Druids). An evil Druid might call upon a swarm of locusts, a plague or other natural disaster to destroy a community or their crops, to recreate the balance as the Druid sees it. He would most likely try to remain hidden most of the time, to avoid being attacked. Druids who turn completely from nature are not Druids anymore. They might attain similar powers (Blighters for exampel), but they are not a force of nature anymore. Blighters are a force of corruption and are greatly feared by all. This makes them tremendous antagonists and, IMO, are even better when supported by abberations and other things man was not ment to know... :] [/QUOTE]
