Each Druid in the Groves is called to the Grove that best suits their temprement and outlook, with each grove representing one of the seasons. Each season determines the list of spells that the Druid can cast, with some seasons better suited to healing and benificial spells while others are more suited to offensive and debilitating castings.
The Grove of Bloom (Spring):
This sect represents those dedicated to the season of spring and the beginning of the cycle of life. Encouraged to be open and inquisitive, their members are generally quite widely spread, only occasionally gathering at the Grove of Bloom in times of crisis. They take an active role in finding those suitable to begin their journey of discovery into the mysteries of Nature.
Members of the Grove of Bloom cast invocations from the Spring list.
The Grove of Verdure (Summer):
This sect represents those dedicated to the season of summer and the abundance of nature in times of plenty. the Grove of Verdure has the links with communities outside of the groves, particularly in less accessible areas of the Protectorate where people live in relative harmony with nature.
Members of the Grove of Verdure cast invocations from the Summer list which includes the most powerful healing and restorative druidic invocations.
The Grove of Ochre (Autumn):
This sect represents those dedicated to the season of autumn and the reaching of maturity. They take responsibility of the training and education of those who come to the groves seeking wisdom. Members of the Grove of Ochre are keen to gather and debate and thus they are the most active Grove politically. Their members are more likely to be seen in Shadyvale and Deepfell than members of the other Groves.
Members of the Grove of Ochre cast invocations from the Autumn list.
The Grove of Pine (Winter):
This sect represents those dedicated to the season of winter and the harsh struggle for survival. The Grove of Pine is mistrustful of the majority of organisations within the Protectorate who time and again put the short term needs of civilisation above that of Nature.
Members of the Grove of Pine cast invocations from the Winter list which includes the most damaging druidic invocations.
