The Solstice Circle

The Solstice Circle (also known as The Ancestor Gods) are a mysterious and ancient group of druids in the Fey Woods, to the north-west of Athesia. Until recently not much was seen of the Circle, spare some fleeting meetings with various members of the Athesian Council and some tests of their qualities. The first Solstice member the Council met (and only one for a long time) was Grimshaw.
The Solstice Circle, being Ancestor Gods, have been around for millenia. They were known to have been instrumental to the founding of the Kingdom of Camland and the crowning of King Uther, as revealed by some curiously well-preserved tapestries in the ruins of Old Camari.
It was revealed in the year of Convergence that the Solstice Circle are actually the Ancestor Gods and had been trying to keep the energies of the Fey Woods in check, to the point that they introduced the Shadowfel to the plane the first time around.
The Solstice Circle, being a group of druids, value balance and neutrality over all other things. However, the details of the Solstice Circle's full agenda is known only to the Circle themselves unless anyone asks (and then they should expect a fairly enigmatic response).
