[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3947801, member: 4936"] Ya know, this kind of reminds me of a druid I made a long time ago who was a member of a druidic sect founded by a circle of treants. They had [i]awakened[/i] long-living trees in their grove called Memory Trees, who's job was to be told things, and to remember them. Potentially forever. The treants were powerful, but didn't stray from the forest, so they founded a druidic order that would roam the world, looking for signs of danger to the balance, and communicate periodically (via a network of Animal Messengers, complete with 'relay stations' manned by a treant that would recieve incoming messages and transfer them to a new messenger to extend the effective range of the spell) with the main grove. These communications would then be remembered by the Memory Trees. All this was in reaction to a distant event in the past that almost destroyed the ecosphere, and the treants appointed themselves 'guardians' to ensure it didn't happen again. Anyway, I was just thinking, if you wanted to flesh out this treant thing, it might be fun to include that "pony express" of animal messengers to keep a big, dispersed network of druids in touch with each other.
