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'''. Until the death of Lady [[Melantha]] in 611 AF, She and Lord [[Lupus]] presided jointly as the council's Patrons. Today, Lady [[Artemis]] and Lady [[Gaia]] are the Divine Patrons, and the Hierophants are '''Penwize''', '''Alrena''', '''Rangor''', '''Indaba''' and '''Wysteria'''.

The foundation of the council is the [[Oakstone Charter]], a document outlining the structure and jurisdiction of the council, and most importantly the laws regarding nature. Wielding a power not to be taken lightly, the Hierophants possess the ability to enemy those who would harm nature directly, setting the wrath of the forests against them.

After 450 years of overseeing protection of the forests,  Oakstone was disestablished, its responsibilities falling to [[Eleusis]] proper as the Council of Hierophants succeeded the former Council of Leath-ris in the forestal village.
