The last signs of the long winter slowly fade into the warmth of the spring sun. Nature awakes all around and love is in the air. The druids and rangers of the Elder Circle still gather regulary to speak about nature and its secrets. More often they invite friends to join public meetings all around the Sword Coast. Their members can be seen planting trees or patrolling around the many forests while others stay hidden deep within. Druids watch and help at the farmlands. Rangers patrol the tradeways and guard important areas. Things move while others keep staying at the center.

A series of carvings are left at the shrines to nature gods across the Sword Coast. In particular, notes are left at the following shrines:

The Shrine of Silvanus, along the Trade Way.
The Shrine of Kossuth, near Gullykin.
The Shrine of Auril, nesstled in the Cloud Peaks.
The Shrine of Eldath, in the Reaching Woods.
The Shrine of Chauntea, on the border of the Farmlands.
The Shrine of Meilikki, along the Trade Way.

These notes are written in druidic runes and are carved on stones. These stones are left at the base of each shrine, along with an offering of a greenstone at each shrine with two exceptions. At the shrine of Kossuth, there is a ruby. At the shrine of Auril, there is a diamond.

Each rune carved in druidic contains the following message:

Hidden: show

Fellow disciples of the wild balance,

A new flower blooms in the coast. He flies, seeking the others who fly the path of true balance. Seek him out, seek him out.

He will nest at the Ancient Druid Circle on the Trade Way, near the Keep of Candles, every evening until another comes to roost with him. You shall know him as the Thunderbird.

He will fly to this shrine, to search for meaning and messages from his fellows during the day. Share with him how to find the way to your splendor and warmth, fellow disciples of the balance.

He shares the path of balance and desires his kindred spirits in this strange land. Find the Thunderbird, for he seeks to find you.

-The Thunderbird

At the end of the message, each rune has the likeness of a crow carved into it. The crow flies, clutching a bolt of lightning in its grasp.

The statue of Mielikki along the river banks north of Beregost, has donned its summer colors with a garland of wildflowers and at its foot a pair of bright shimmering sapphires. Sprawled around the statue is a peculiar yet meticulous pattern of moonflower petals in depiction of a heart.

Some locals may speak of a strange woman in a thin silken dress, often seen wandering along the riverbank while softly lamenting the absence of her hearts desire.

A very large man in dark plated robes approaches the shrine and observes the druids with interest

"I've come seeking the elder circle."
He says in a deep, booming voice.

He proceeds to lower his hood revealing the intricate tattoos that cover most of his face.

"I wish to learn more about the spirits of the wild, can you help me?"

[lum]

"Sure thing!" a white haired woman would say as she rises. "Let me get you Vendor or Sane, I think they're somewhere about here, testing some new toys. You know? Boys and their toys?"

[Touri]

Rain gently drops down on the farmlands and forests of the Sword Coast.

Dead Trees!

And the ghosts of the forest still watch....the past and the future....

A single Flower in the fields!

And some are scared

.

But summer arrives with all its beautiness....

....watching...

Beyond the Sun.....

...and the Trees.
