Dedicated solely to the protection and preservation of nature, '''The Council of Oakstone''' was formed in 227 AF by '''Mysti''' and '''Mandrake''' with the assistance of [[Gaia]], Goddess of Nature, and [[Sarapis]], the Logos. Originally patroned by [[Gaia]] Herself, the council was led by five Hierophants, the first being '''Mysti''', '''Mandrake''', '''Rahl''', '''Treant''', and '''Galdrion'''.
