Emerald Enclave The Emerald Enclave was an organization of druid s and other nature worshipers on the island of Ilighôn . The actions of the Enclave influenced the lives of the high and low , its members avoiding good and evil to focus on the needs of the natural world and resist the growing influence of humankind . Despite their primary goal of preserving nature , members were not direct opponents of progress ; they preferred instead to work with civilized folk to promote the health of the natural world without resorting to acts of violence . After the Spellplague hit , and with their island becoming part of the Turmish mainland due to the receding waters of the Sea of Fallen Stars , the organization became perverted and xenophobic , bent on destroying all forms and manifestations of the Spellplague . Dogma . The original aims of the Enclave were six - fold : The Emerald Enclave of the post - Spellplague era believed that the natural order had to be respected and preserved , and that forces that would upset that natural order should be destroyed . They were also to keep elemental forces in check , and prevent the wilderness and civilization from wiping out one another . They also accepted that the wilderness could be harsh , and some could not survive in it without aid , and so they would help them . Organization . Initiation . Initiates were required to serve neither good nor evil , to not serve any other organization ( apart from the churches of Eldath , Mielikki , or Silvanus ) , to be innocent of crimes against nature , and to have performed at least one act that benefited nature in the Vilhon Reach area . The rites of initiation were held each full moon at the House of Silvanus . Titles . Depending on the situation , the Enclave was also known as the " Caretakers " , " Nature ' s Chosen " , the " Circle " , and " the Chosen of Silvanus " . Hierarchy . The Enclave had the following ranks from lowest to highest : Springwarden , Summerstrider , Autumreaver , Winterstalker , and Master of the Wild . Structure . The Enclave was organized into a hierarchy of circles , each of which had a different responsibility : The three members of the Elder Circle were followers of Eldath , Mielikki , and Silvanus . Most members worshiped one of these deities and all wore some sort of green symbol . They traveled often , hunting for threats to the natural resources of the Reach and seeking potential allies in other lands . History . Founding . Founded on Ilighôn in 374 DR , the Enclave ' s initial goal was to protect the interests and resources of nature within the Vilhon Reach in the face of despoilers of nature . The House of Silvanus was completed a few years later . After a while , the Enclave began to concern themselves with preservation of nature throughout all of Faerûn . To accomplish this feat , they started splinter cells in other areas that it believed may become threatened , such as the High Forest , Cormanthor , the Wealdath , and the forests of the Great Dale . These cells were small , often consisting of only a few people keeping a close eye on organizations dangerous to their aims . Such groups were known to keep a watch on the church of Talos and the People of the Black Blood . Post - Spellplague . After the Spellplague of 1385 DR , much of the order died or left for Gulthandor . The remaining druids , led by the increasingly mad female eladrin Cindermoon ( formerly Shadowmoon Crystalembers ) , were less capable and experienced , and harbored a deep hatred of the spellscarred . Several agents were sent to the plaguelands south of Turmish , and the organization also tried to stop the scar pilgrimages that passed through , usually by violent means . The Sundering . The Enclave was revitalized in 1486 DR when the Chosen of Lathander , Stedd Whitehorn , cured Cindermoon of a Shar - induced madness and the Great Rains refilled the Sea of Fallen Stars . Along with other factions , the Enclave rose up to oppose a plot by the Cult of the Dragon to return Tiamat to the mortal realm .
