I love the quote at the beginning, it really sets up the article quite nicely. When you have them, I'd definitely love to read about her relationship with the other druids. With the section on divine symbols and sigils, are there any symbols that her worshippers wear? Any holy symbols, tattoos ect?
Hmmm, those are good questions. I had not planned on her followers wearing anything, mostly because I did not think of that. So now I will think on that! And thank you! The quote is my favorite part!
