They were the first druids in khorvaire (possibly more than just thst) and were eberron orcs taught druidic and maybe draconic magic by the black dragon Vvaraak who became known as  the scaled apostate for doing so.  Their mission was not to protect "nature", it was to fight off an extraplanar invasion foreseen in the draconic prophecy as being apocalyptic and while they beat the daelkyr by imprisoning them in Khyber its unknown if the daelkyr were THE invasion  so they remain vigilant against extraplanar influences and incursions.   They created monstrous crossbreed known as the horrid beasts and doing so is implied to have been a pretty dark act either directly or by how they were used.  One possibility was to fight alongside... a different but credible possability was as area denial self populating depopulation tool that had the lucky benefit of maybe killing some daelkyr creations while killing the native creatures so the daelkyr could not transform them... whatever the case it may have been the reason why some of the other druidic sects said whoaah and split off.</blockquote>
