Nyx (Lord of Chaos)

Nyx’s tribe of shapeshifters tried to live at one with nature, only taking what they needed and giving all they could spare back to the world and its people. It was due to this selfless nature that the tribe was blessed by the very spirit of the forest and planet.

Thus the members of the tribe were blessed with the power to control all plant life, helping it grow and even weaponizing it if they ever needed to. Very few members of the tribe also possessed another gift, the power to purify with a touch. They could clean tainted water by stepping into it, mend damaged plants by laying their hands upon them and even heal the sick or injured by flowing their own spiritual energy into the subject. Not everyone with these powers were skilled healers or had very good control of plants, Nyx however was skilled in both spades, They could bring a field of flowers to bloom and extract poison from the dying. Their skill gained the tribe such notoriety among the vast wildlands between kingdoms, they rarely met opposition when they neared a town.

The same could not be said for the Kingdom’s many cities or capitals. Depending on the crown’s religious beliefs, the tribe was seen as anything from frauds all the way to agents of dark beings. Other druid tribes had been attacked in the past by nobles who feared the tribes and their magic abilities. Nyx was filled with rage every time they passed an unfriendly city and they saw the rotting bodies of their people left on the walls to ward away their kind. The religious persecution was so bad in some places, the tribe had to sleep in shifts to avoid being attacked whilst they stopped to rest.

Nyx may have grown up simple, but they were fierce and clever. They often came up with plans or schemes to get into hostile cities by shapeshifting with a few of their friends to get supplies or money. They were often scolded for this, being told “all that they may need or ask for, the spirits of the planet will provide”. That didn’t stop them from using the medical supplies they would win off men and pubs of course, or eating the sweets they would buy with money they earned
