Blights are not banned, but you will have quite an issue performng their RP necessities that they ned to do to get their powers. They need to destroy massive amounts of nature every day to fuel their powers.

Just did some quick math, and if I'm correct, at lv 30, a Blighter would destroy a plot of land just under 20 football fields(including in-zones) in area with one Deforestation. 19.62 to be exact. So if a Blighter were on Amia, the populace would know within the course of a few weeks, perhaps days if it was a high level.

It's not just the sheer size of the area affected, it's also that nothing can be grown in that area again, unless Hallow(Lv 5 Drd/Clc) is cast on it.

Disease spreading and blight of nature isn't a unfair assessment of certain Malarites though (I should mention though, Malar is indeed served by at least one priest Lich, so undeath by his clerics wouldn't exactly be frowned upon, I don't think)

Make druids of Sebek, there are enough swamps on Amia to feel comfy.

Malar is also served by a few rare Beast Lords. These lone spellcasters breed unnatural monsters like bulettes, stegocentipedes, owlbears, perytons, and so forth. While most Beast Lords are human, a few are drawn from the ranks of other races such as illithids and beholders. One prominent nonhuman Beast Lord in the North is an illithilich, believed to be based in ruined Dekanter, who seeks to conquer part of the dark realms of the Underdark with an army of beasts.

There are 3 primary forces in the universe: the dynamic, the entropic, and the static. Dynamism is defined as creation, or "forward" progress (natural or civilized); entropy is the proceeding downswing, which can be destruction, it can be death, it can be misfortune, it can be regression; these two universal concepts comprise the cycle every druid by virtue of being a druid adheres to, with or without any formal training from a Circle of Druids. Some favor the dynamic over the entropic (certain Chauntean agriculturists, for example), and some favor the entropic over the dynamic (predatory druids of Malar, for instance, or blighters, which are still technically druidic). Most you will see encourage the whole "balance" aspect, and while they apply the concept of balance to a lot of themes - civilization vs. nature, tend to nature vs. let it do its own thing, good vs. evil, etc. - they are ultimately operating within the universal confines of the Dynamic/Entropic cycle.

Druids have access to their divine abilities because they have made an implicit or an explicit "pact" with their deity to ensure that the Dynamic/Entropic cycle is affected to some combination of their deity's will and the druid's will. In my estimation, there's always a little bit of breathing room there for personal interpretation (though not as far as dealing with the undead, and I will explain precisely why to you shortly). Let's take an Aurilite druid for example. A druid of Auril would have the responsibility to ensure that winter does as winter should do, in all its glorious themes. Drive away autumn and forestall rebirth of spring as long as possible. Chill mankind to the bone and lay waste to his crops. Put certain mammals into hibernation and others into vicious hunting cycles for food to keep their metabolism/body heat going. Snowblind. And somewhat like a cleric of Auril, a druid of Auril might have the secondary responsibility (it would be primary for a cleric) to remind people of the association between winter and Auril. It is not frostbite that destroyed your child's fingers and toes, it was Auril's breath. That avalanche was not a circumstance of pent-up snow, it was Auril's heaving breast, or the full weight of her displeasure with your mountain community. Alternatively, a frozen lake is Auril's gracious gesture, allowing a possible yet treacherous passage across the water to those who would otherwise have too much difficulty in a boat.

Where this decidedly personal notion that the druid is responsible for the Dynamic/Entropic Cycle comes from is up to you to decide, but it is an imperative you must accept of playing the druid class.

I mentioned 3 different forces. The third is the Static. When most people tend to consider the iconic "good" and "bad", they have the kneejerk belief that dynamic is good and entropic is bad. In actuality, it is the static that is more often than not "bad", because entropic is really just part of the cycle of life.

The Static, on the other hand, is alien. It is Other. It is outside of the normal flow of events. Unnatural. There are a few things which belong to the universal static force (constructs, architecture, civilization when it stops being dynamic and reaches a peak and becomes the concrete jungle before it starts to crumble entropically, ideas, whatever one might associate with unchanging, unaffected, and non-moving). The undead are a prime example of the static. They are neither living nor dead and thus exist outside of the Dynamic/Entropic cycle that druids are naturally prone to defending.

Therefore, any druid who tolerates the presence of the undead is, in fact, courting not only violation of the principles the druid personally holds dear (and has to hold dear for his or her magic to work!), but is also at great risk of angering their divine patron, particularly if that patron is anti-undead.

The situation you raise is an interesting one. A druid of Auril and a non-druid of Auril together, and the non-druid summons an undead. Both of them serve the same deity. One would think the deity would provide some slack to the druid, right?

Not so, for at least two reasons:

- Regardless of the deity, the undead is ANATHEMA to the druid...again, regardless of any formal training or teaching in a circle. You are naturally, almost preternaturally disposed against the undead as a druid. To tolerate the presence of the undead without so much as demanding it go away or putting it away or leaving the area is to have the druid force him or herself into a quandary: by failing to act, am I failing my principles? Doubt is the enemy of any magician, arcane or divine. Arcanists combat doubt with knowledge (Int-based), or with raw personal force (Cha-based). Divine casters combat doubt with faith (Wis-based, generally). By going against your faith and courting doubt, you immediately risk Falling...even if Auril has no problem with you hanging around, YOUR OWN construct of being a druid is threatened and you spiritually abandon the connection to your deity.

- Alternatively, the druid may have the very question you have: the person who summoned the undead serves my goddess. Is She telling me to tolerate it, even against my will, even though it makes me sick to my stomach to be near it? Not likely. Let's frame Auril here for a moment. Winter's chill is intended to slay people...and never let them come back to life, unless it is through Auril's grace, with people making great sacrifices to her. She wants the bitter bite of cold to have a very physical effect on everything it touches, be it man, animal, life, matter, flora, fauna, emotions, whatever.

Now, you could logic to yourself, "Oh, the undead are cold! Therefore, they must be approved by Auril, yeah, because they have chilling touches! Especially winterwights!"

The chill of the undead is NOT winter's chill. It is negative energy chill. There's a significant difference. That significant difference being that the former is Auril's domain, her control, the extension of her divine will in the world, and the other is not.

The keener logic for the druid to apply is the idea that Auril might not actually like the undead. Why? They don't feel her cold. They're immune to the freezing temperature and the harshness of the snow. They just get buried and come out again unaffected when springtime rolls around. They don't suffer, and they'll never worship her. Auril is a goddess with a domain and a power of nature, a domain/power that is firmly within the Dynamic/Entropic Cycle, and therefore anything from the Static is probably an affront to her because it is "immune" to her winter.

And therefore, why should the druid tolerate the undead? It may come from the same source, but any divine caster should have the wisdom to understand that the deities do not necessarily approve every single spell that is cast, they merely approve of the ability for the faithful to cast it. If the faithful casts it incorrectly or wrongly, then the deity is likely to be incensed...if they notice. And therefore, the non-druid Aurilite summoning the undead is using Auril's divine gift incorrectly and needs to be corrected by the druid.

Eco-terrorist as draining natural resources to meet their needs, goals, ect? Or someone that actively seeks to destroy nature?

Oh man, I'm an eco-terrorist...

Seriously, eco-terrorism as a word is really bad and invented by the people who meet the other definition of the word. For example the groups in your example are all nonviolent by principle. ALF is probably the most extreme of them, because they target property (which doesn't count as violence, it's not against people). Even Sea Shepard doesn't do that, unless forced to.

Saernclaws gospel is something that Malarite usually adopt, yes, but it's not Malarite dogma. They don't -have to- obey it.
