Overview
The Tuatha of the Sacred Grove is the pantheon of Eirendor, the gods of the natural world and the forces that govern life and death. Each embodies an aspect of the land and its people, from the nurturing earth to the untamed wild, the high sun to the secret moon. Worship follows the cycles of nature, the turning of the seasons, and the spirits of the land, and the faithful hold that to keep faith with the grove is to keep the world in balance.

Worship & Culture
Worship in Eirendor centers on honoring the cycles of nature, the seasons, and the spirits of the land. Sacred groves, standing stones, and ancient cairns serve as places of worship, where offerings are made to keep harmony and balance. The heart of the faith is the Sacred Grove in the High Circle of Thigas Dale, where the veil between the world and the Otherworld runs thin. The Tuatha guide the people of Eirendor in everything from the planting of crops to the rites of passage that mark a life, and their druids and grove-keepers tend the old places and read the will of the land in the turning of the year.
