Circle of Lunara

The Circle of Lunara is a druid circle. It founded the mercenary company known as the Servants of the Moonlit Circle.1
The freeing of Erdentree
For a hundred years the circle planned a nearly impossible mission: to release a powerful nature spirit from the Feywild back into the forests of Westreach. The spirit was Erdentree, a fey spirit in the form of a golden elk, held in the grove of looming shadows by a powerful dark fey lord named Blaspheus.1
The circle's magic was strong enough to open the way for the spirit with a ritual, but the ritual's channel had to reach the place where the spirit was held, and for that the druids needed help. They hired adventurers from around Westreach.1
The adventurers' task was to carry a magical ember to the hearth of Erdentree's prison and connect the druids with the spirit. Thirteen of them took the contract under the leadership of Archdruid Perildien, and they succeeded in bringing Erdentree's spirit back to the material plane. They were rewarded with precious stones and scrolls of arcane lore, and the surviving original members chose to stay together: so the Servants of the Moonlit Circle were born.2
Ties with the Servants
Through their connection to the circle, the Servants have access to ancient knowledge and rituals, which makes them adept at communing with nature spirits, understanding plants and animals, and using natural remedies. Their initiation is called the trials of the Lunara; in its last stage, the druids perform a ritual that lets a nature spirit possess the nominee's body and judge their bond with nature.2
Archdruid Perildien Elderwood, a druid of the Circle of Lunara two hundred years old, was once the circle's archdruid. He is now the spiritual leader of the Servants; he takes no part in the company's paid missions but guides and aids all its members.3
When Lachland spared Esther of the Bluelands after she attacked him in a rage, he took her prisoner and brought her to the circle of Lunara. There, in the grove, she learned of the Servants and their mission against the heralds of Blaspheus.4
