Hildegard Ó Maoil Eoin

"To be a druid is to embrace death, dance with it a while, and finally fall prey to it. That is why we'll never rule this world. We have the power to bend all men to our whim, but are forever pushing ourselves further, trying to fly higher... and falling."
-Hildegard Ó Maoil Eoin
== History ==
Once an Archdruid to Adrian Vlato, Hildegard challenged him to a duel to the death, taking his life, title, and the White Orb of Dragonkind. Though she has no position with the Empire of Celymnaia, her stature in the Druid Society has made her Emperor Lothaire Parvaiz's unofficial right hand. An unusual figure in Celymnaia's leadership, she distains the Druid Society's worst practices. She has refused to participate in the Wild Hunt, and secretly provides aids to those who would challenge the Druids who abuse Celymnaia's people. Her stance has won her many enemies, including the Shadow Circle, and all three of her own Archdruids. So far, she has fielded off many challenges, earning a measure of respect, although no one expects for her or her reforms to last. For now, as long as she has Lothaire Parvaiz's favor and the command of Celymnaia's White Dragonarmy, she remains unassailable. 
== Personality ==
Steadfast and very imaginative, Hildegard's favored animal form is a grizzly bear. Though she has a reputation for kindness towards the people of Celymnaia, this is more in comparison to her crueler compatriots. She does not believe that the Druid Society has any business interfering in the affairs of man for better or for ill, and that their role is as the protectors of the natural world. She is steadfastly loyal to Lothaire Parvaiz, but plans to challenge him if he does not retire. She believes the Empire should die with Parvaiz, and would make no claim to the throne. Parvaiz is aware of her intentions, and knows that conflict between them is inevitable. He would have it no other way, for the qualities that make her his greatest follower are those that will eventually force one to take the life of the other.
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
Hildegard would lead the White Dragonarmy during the Wild Hunt of Aglazdere, covering the hunt's advance such that the nation's sky fleet would be unable to respond. 
== After the War ==
Hildegard would challenge Lothaire Parvaiz for the position of Grand Druid, defeating him and killing him. She would dissolve the Celymnaian monarchy, and devote her efforts to combating the creeping corruption of the great old ones. Category:Alignment Campaign
