Druids have no problem eating meat and using animal products for example, but many lay people will interpet druids as the vegan type. Jahiera for example, had no issue with the city. His whole bit about bears when talking about the bank shows he doesnt know anything about real bears. I blame his writer. I still like the idea of him not being a huge fan of cities, thats fair. But the detestment about a way of life he has no idea about is really...idk makes him not look good. He doesnt know the customs of the city life but hes so quick to judge. How does a wise old experienced archdruid become so judgemental about a lifestyle with so little experience and information?

Him seeing the suffering the city has and being disheartened by it, however, is not a bad concept and is something I would like to see Tav help him and support him with.

I didn't know about that aspect of Silvanus tbh, but I need to look more into that. If it's against civilization itself, then living in the grove would also be somewhat against his believes. It's like you said, he judges a lifestyle he doesn't know (same as he judges living in a monoship, btw).
Could you explain what exactly he says "when talking about the bank"?


The last part you said would make up for a nice little story with him but I guess that would be too much work. Maybe adding a new line to the ending, that he learned that not everything about city life is bad, would also be nice. I would love to see him as someone who reflect upon what he experienced and how his point of view might have changed.

If you want to answer to any of my posts with just hate, please just don't answer at all.

If you want just to white knight everything and can't accept opinions, please don't even answer me.

Thank you!
