Message: <blockquote data-quote="VirgilCaine" data-source="post: 1752403" data-attributes="member: 17083">Universal literacy IMC is helped by the old Greyhawk deity Lydia (or was it Lirr...) whose priest(ess)s teach basic literacy and numbers to commoner children. Richer people take care of their own children mostly, so just about everyone knows how to read on at least a basic level. You have to be a pretty backwards person not to in most countries IMC.As for "hippy ecoterrorist" druids--they exist IMC, but they're the Neutral Evil ones. Your model is right on target for how people would really see Nature.Nature is where the werewolves and goblins and dragonnes/wyvern/dragons and monsters come from, so someone saying not to thin out the forest so the army/adventurers/mercs can get to the goblin tribe easier is not well received by most normal people IMC.Don't be so dramatic. Remember all those MONSTERS in the wilds? That'll slow down the "rapid expansion" a lot. Besides, it's impossible that the whole planet will be strip mined because we need farms too.IMC, NG druids support developing resources for (demi-)humankinds benefit. They'd be in the scouting parties making sure that the mining area is safe from monsters.TN druids would want to balance the industry with what would keep the area stable in terms of animal populations and such. Not that they would oppose the development, but they would advise some restraint, perhaps. And they also would be on the front lines, fighting the dragons or wyverns or hippogriffs or whatnot.CN druids? Wouldn't care.LN druids? They'd help fight the monsters also. Survival of the fittest, you see.NE druids? These guys would actively fight the other druids and the adventurers/mercs the miners/loggers hired.</blockquote>
