The Ancient Circle of Druids comprised the oldest organisation of forestals in the land, dedicated to the preservation and nurturing of nature. The House was dissolved in 678 AF along with the Sentinels of Nature and the Sylvanic Fellowship Houses as part of a sacrifice to help cleanse Eleusis and the Eastern Ithmia from the effects of the Ventos Allegos.
Historically, Druids as a whole had avoided cities as they tend to be involved in political and moral issues that detract from the dedication to Nature. As testament to this, up until 619 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, druids were not permitted to join cities, and could only choose to join the village of Eleusis upon reaching full member status. However, in recent times, the Druids had changed this policy, and required that newbies and aspirants of house rank four or less be citizens of Eleusis, allowing them to leave only after graduating into full house membership. Citizenship in any other city was not permitted. As a result of this general detachment from urban affairs, the Ancient Circle of Druids maintained neutrality in all issues that did not affect the well-being of Nature.
Around the Year 678AF, the Ventos Allegos, a minion of Lady Lorielan, destroyed all the Icons ending with the fall of the the Stag Crown. When the Sentinels Icon fell the Ventos Allegos travelled trough the Shadow Icon to the Eastern Ithmia. With the presence of Ventos Allegos being to much for the forest and Eleusis, the trees and woods began to become distorted. Awaken from her slumber by the arrival of the creature, Lady Artemis and Lady Gaia combined their powers to rejuvenate the forest and removed the Ventos Allegos. With the surge of natural energy, the trees and plants began to heal along with the hollowed trees of the three forestal House estates, dislodging and effectively dissolving them.
