Arising from the ashes of the Druidic guild within the Heartwood, the Shamans
are the awakened seers of Dendara that stride the ancient forests. Known amongst
their people as augurs and spiritwalkers, the Shaman aim to protect the
shattered lands of Dendara and enact the will of their masters: the Praadi-an
Kiar and the spirits within that claim dominion over that primeval plane.
Situated beneath the whole of the Great Oak, the murmured song and rituals of
the Shamans can be heard, reverberating throughout the ancient Heartwood.


Blooded in the ancient rites of [[Shamanism]], [[Primality]], and [[Naturalism]], the
Shamans stand as weavers of old oaths, bend nature to their will, and call upon
the Rhythm itself in battle against all who would stand against them in their
task. The Praadi stand as watchers of an old world and do not give quarter to
those who move against them.
Invoking the spirits, Shamanism calls upon the harrowing bonds that the seers
swear themselves to before the ancient guardians that watch over Dendara. With
murmured prayers, they bind dark spirits to their fetishes, delivering foul
portents and omens in the flurry of battle. Elder, ethereal beasts move in the
shadows alongside them; mere echoes of the great spirits that they are born from
and bound to the Shaman in rites of blood.
With the art of Primality, the Shaman calls upon the primordial elements and the
Rhythm that winds itself throughout Dendara. The Shamans rise as masters of the
natural world, wreathing lightning within their hands and scourging the very
lifeforce from the flesh of those who stand against them. Finally, with the art
of Naturalism, the Shaman wields mastery over the forests that carpet the world
in their ancient embrace. Overgrowth springs to the call of a Shaman, roiling
outwards in a sea of seething life that few can quench as it runs rampant over
the earth. Those caught in this tide of life are bound to its whim and that of
the Shaman who wields its great strength.

The Shamans are one of the guilds of the council of Duiran. Marked as spiritwalkers and seers, they commune with the spirits of Dendara and keep constant vigil over the sacred plane. The sanctum guildhall may be found within the depths of Duiran and is protected by the Watcher of the Heartwood, Ivaryen. Within the cavernous halls, the Elder Oranis teaches both young and old of the shamanic path, while the Spiritwalker Besram creates herbal tinctures and melanges to imbibe.
