The Willowardens are a group of druids and rangers devoted the preservation of nature, limiting the spread of civilization and commanding the respect of nature. They seek out areas of great natural importance and protect them from destruction. Their order is very loose, most of their members work alone or in pairs at most, seeking instead the company of flora and fauna. One is unlikely to seek out others unless there is a danger to the natural setting they have sworn themselves to protect so great they cannot handle it themselves. However, the more social of their ranks operate in the courts of kings and on the streets of great cities, acting as an intermediary between the order and society and as a more reasonable voice for expressing the desires of the order.
