Druid

A druid was a member of the ruling class in ancient Celtic cultures. Druids were primarily religious leaders as well as legal authorities, adjudicators, lorekeepers, medical professionals and political advisors. In Ireland and Great Britain, they held considerable influence over the masses until the rapid spread of Christianity would drive them to near-extinction.
