Overview
The Order of the Verdant Veil is a secretive organization of druids, rangers, and other nature-loving individuals dedicated to preserving and protecting the delicate balance of Amra's ecosystems. Believing in the interconnectedness of all life, they work to ensure that the forces of nature remain in equilibrium and that those who would exploit or destroy the natural world are held accountable. The symbol of the Order is a leafy mask and members of the Order can be recognized by a small, verdant green cloak clasp in the shape of the leafy mask.
The Order is governed by the Circle of Guardians, a council of its most experienced and wise members. The council elects the High Warden, who serves as the primary spokesperson and leader of the organization. Currently, High Warden Elarwen Woodstrider, a skilled and knowledgeable druid, guides the Order's efforts across Amra.
