Xanthar's Guide - Circle of Dreams Druid effectively confirmed
I may be late to the boat, but there was a tweet from JC that just effectively confirmed Druid Circle of Dreams

Re: Xanthar's Guide - Circle of Dreams Druid effectively confirmed
That's great news. Or maybe not. See, I love the idea because I think this part of the fluff...
Druids who are members of the Circle of Dreams hail from regions that have strong ties to the Feywild. The druids’ guardianship of the natural world makes for a natural alliance between them and good-aligned fey.
The Feywild, they would say, is a distorted reflection of the natural world, where arcane magic reigns supreme. It might look prettier than the Shadowfell, but a true druid should despise both.

Re: Xanthar's Guide - Circle of Dreams Druid effectively confirmed
I disagree... i see both the Shadowfell and Feywild as 'parts' of the world, normally inaccessible... the Shadowfell the part 'too close' to negative energy, and the Feywild is the part 'too close' to positive energy.
While it is still in some way 'unnatural' it is also part of the flow of that 'life energy' and thus a viral connection to those concerned with fostering 'life'. Shadowfel is only 'worse' because negative-energy flowing 'backwards' from there to the Prime is so much more inherently disruptive than a little extra positive energy is.Last edited by Naanomi; 2017-08-07 at 08:40 AM.

Re: Xanthar's Guide - Circle of Dreams Druid effectively confirmed
More like a wild magic surge.
See, the Feywild, with that name and the symmetry with the Shadowfell, was introduced in 4e, and 4e had a telling piece of lore regarding eladrin and elves.Originally Posted by 4e PHB p39Originally Posted by 4e PHB p41
Then again, Heroes of the Feywild gave us this description of the place...Originally Posted by 4e HotF p40
Edit:Eh, you are right. Druids wouldn't despise the Feywild, just like they wouldn't despise the part of the Plane of Fire that ressembles the Material. It is all part of the balance.
Still, druids would probably consider the Material to be where the balance is realized, and superior for it.Last edited by Millstone85; 2017-08-07 at 09:53 AM.

Re: Xanthar's Guide - Circle of Dreams Druid effectively confirmed
It's a bit odd, because JC rarely confirms information.
Mearls is usually the one with loose lips.
JC must be quite excited about Xan's. Which is a good thing, because if he's excited, it means he's happy with the product.

Re: Xanthar's Guide - Circle of Dreams Druid effectively confirmed
Druids from the Prime certainally would... Planar Druids are often more of an 'a place for everything and everything in its place' types... the Abyss is natural for the Abyss, Negative Energy is natural for Negative Energy... just don't go mixing things up too much (though some mixing is natural) or twisting things beyond their own nature and you should be good. Oh, and the Far Realm's 'place' is no where near anything but itself
