The Thorlonian Circle

Orgins and Background

The Circle started as an offshoot of the good-aligned circles of the Elvareen Woods. Certain individuals became frustrated with the way the humans were encroaching upon nature in the area and were prepared to take drastic measures to stop them. This movement eventually became the Thorlonian Circle.

Goals

The ultimate goal of the Thorlonian Circle is to drive out all civilization from the Dormantown Area so that nature may take over once again.

Structure

The leadership of the Thorlonian Circle is a council of five druids called the Five Trees. Of these five, a leader is chosen and is called the High Oak. The current High Oak is actually a fiendish oak treant named Mossoak.

Membership is not limited to druids, and any who wish for mother nature to take over the Dormantown Area are welcomed, so long as the prospective member has it within themselves to do murder upon the Circle's enemies.

Enemies and Allies

The Circle counts all of the settlements in the Dormantown Area amongst its enemies, but is especially focused on Dormantown itself as the townsfolk continue to cultivate the land and harvest Coranth Woods. The good druids of Elvareen Grove are not outrightly hostile to the Thorlonian druids, but they do strive not to interfere with each other; they share goals, just not agreement on the proper means.

Continuing to Explore the Ice Fortress

The party continued to explore the level and fought against a number of hostile encounters, including rangers and druids of the Thorlonian Circle and bear-like humanoids identified as Urskans. The player characters eventually encountered pieces of blue sphere that were identified as parts of key.

The party bests a puzzle involving a life-sized chessboard and ice statues

After combining the two sphere pieces, the party opened a door in the northern section of the level and were greeted by a frost giant and two winter wolves.

INSERT COMMENTARY ABOUT FROST GIANT ENCOUNTER

The party encounters a frost giant and two winter wolves.
