Verdant lord

❌

Verdant lords were people who had dedicated their lives to the understanding and well-being of all plant life. Being skilled in herbalism and wilderness lore, most verdant lords lived apart from civilization, often within very lush groves. Verdant lords were generally patient and retiring in nature; however, if somebody threatened plants or carelessly waved fire around they became enraged very quickly. Few of them traveled, but those who did tended to do so in the company of treants.

Culture
Verdant lords were almost always elven or half-elven druids, as their long lifespan allowed them to appreciate the trees and forests they cared for. Occasionally, a druid of another race or a ranger followed this calling, along with clerics of either of one of the nature deities. Other people tended to lack the knowledge of plant life and commitment to nature required of a verdant lord.
