Aer Dana

The Aer Dana are the druidic knights of legends sworn to protect the natural world and all its wonder and beauty. Their name is Filani for "Children of the Woodland" are they are believed to be instilled with Fey powers granting them abilities above mortalkind. Typically solitary individuals, the Aer Dana are organized loosely in bands and will come to one another's aid if such is required. They are most active in the Filani realms as well as the larger forests of Hyland but have been known to travel to any woodland area where their services might be required. A number of them are believed to operate as far South as the Grandwood west of Deepdale.
