Among the oldest of the traditions known to the people of Urth, Nature magic originated with the faeries, who first learned to use the magic that envelops reality to change the natural world to suit their needs.

These faeries passed on their lore to the First People, and the knowledge would serve as the basis of the Old Faith.

Druids believe that because Nature magic derives from the world itself, calling on its power requires one to be in good standing with the world spirit. They preach that callous disregard for the natural order of things, wanton destruction of the natural world, and other acts contrary to the preservation of nature can lead to angering the world spirit, which might result in the world withholding its power from those perpetrators or even some worse fate.

Of course, these cautionary sermons might be nothing more than stories to ensure that students of the tradition cleave to the principles of the Old Faith. Other practitioners of the tradition face no repercussions when they use Nature spells for dubious or malevolent ends. The elder druids know, however, that their time is coming, and that their magic will fail them when it is needed most.
