Wooden Arrow

Druids dislike violence but understand its place. The natural world is full of blood, murder and death. The strong consume the weak. Predator against prey. This they understand, though they seldom like it. When they must resort to violence, they choose the simple approach. Man's strength comes not from their muscles but from their creativity and ingenuity. Just as a wolf has claws, a hunter has a bow.

When a bow must be drawn, the druids prefer arrows made of simple wood. Gathered twigs and branches, whittled down to sharp points. They see it as the forest giving them the blessing to go on the hunt. Traditionally, feathers are gathered from around the forest floor, taken when dropped or from a bird's moulting. This keeps the number of arrows low, forcing a hunter to be accurate and precise, lest they run out of chances.

Thus, death is swift at the hands of a bow, and balance isn't damaged. This the druids preached to the villagers.
