Circle of Ashes

Druids of this circle believe that what's old and rotten must be
burned down for something better to arise from its ashes. A
member of this circle may have become a druid in a forest
prone to wildfires or near the site of a mighty volcano.
Regardless of their origin, these druids know that many
things in this world stagnate, cease to grow, or even corrupt
and deteriorate. They see the value of fire as a force of
creative destruction; a way to destroy the old to make way for
something better. Some druids of this circle revere the
phoenix as the symbol of the cycle of death, decay and
regrowth. Others make a habit out of planting seeds on fallen
foes so new life can bloom from their ashes.
