Editing Druidic Faith (section)

== '''The Council of the Godsbane (3 AR)''' ==
After the destruction of the Demontide, the Druids convened to discuss the formal death of the Ilamnian Elves, and the path forward for their faith. Among their debates, the Druids cast out several spirits who were accused of consorting with Valthour during the invasion. It was the Council of the Godsbane that cast out Dar Ydrin and Dar Thol, two spirits who traded allegiance to Valthour for the destruction of several Trium churches in the Western Heartlands. Druids do not enforce the excommunication, and as such some Druids in the deep forests still worship the two treacherous spirits. They are called Ydrinists. 

== '''The Whispering Heresy (401 BR)''' ==
In more ancient history, Druids do well to remember the Whispering Heresy. A religious conflict conjured by the schemes and plots of an old Druid House, based on the worship of Dar Alaclin, a group of zealous aristocrats sought to consolidate the Druids under a warlike banner that would see a new war started with the Reveians. The war lasted five years, separating the Moors between the Dar and Dinn spirits who were previously united. In the end, it was the compromise Treaty of 396 BR that forged a lasting peace and established a more tangible prohibition on civil conflict between the Moormen. 

== '''The Wightian War (156 BR)''' ==
The Wightian Church attempted to conduct a targeted campaign of genocide against the Druids who lived in Dunlow, culminating in the sinking of several dozen ships carrying citizens of the Island’s villages. A great war broke out and led to the burning of Tork by Dar Freyda militants, and the execution of ten Trium priests and upwards of fifty inquisitors. The bloody conflict saw several noteworthy battles, and the Lords of the Moors were quick to join when reinforcements arrived from House Janus in the East to assist the Wightians. It is believed by the Druids to this day that the Wightian War was won by the villagers of Dunlow boldly resisting the attempt of the Church to bring an end to their people. The historical records do vindicate that theory, but it was largely due to the Wightians being unable to pierce the Moormen blockade. Without the Moors’ support, it is likely Dunlow would be a decisive victory for the Triumite Church. 

== '''The Departure of the Fae (Unknown Date)''' ==
Tales differ on the specifics of the Fae’s departure from Reveia, but they all agree that it happened, and marked a great tragedy for the Druids that signaled their gradual decline. When the Elven Empire of old collapsed, the Groves receded in relevance and accessibility. Eventually, the Fae began to disappear one by one, some slain by the Church’s invasions that sought to drive their kind from Reveia for good. It was the discovery that the Fae maintained their spirits after death that led to their worship and the canonization of their ontology.
