Publisher: Dungeon Masters GuildThe following subclass, along with its options, was designed to offer a new way to play an evil druid or a druid anti-hero, one whose powers come from the most perverted aspects of the natural world, if not from utterly unnatural forces that aim to overtake Nature itself.
The Circle of Apostasy is the dark and corrupted face of the Circle of the Land, a congregation of druids whose heretical views made them the very scourge they once swore to fight. Inspecting and contemplating the most controversial aspect of nature, they ended up enmeshed with what an orthodox druid would consider pure blasphemy, hence their reputation of apostates.
Druids of this circle are organized into four main sects, as if four dark voices were clearly speaking among the whispers only them can heard.
The Circle of Beyond is tainted by a madness that transcended the nature of this world to embrace the not so natural order of the Far Realm, the very bane of mortal worlds.
The Circle of Death teaches that the real meaning of life is its end, for there will be no life without death.
The Circle of Decay reveres the inevitable decay and putrescence as the only means towards a greater good, for new life always sprouts from decay
The Circle of the Netherworld, born from an excessive interest on the fate of the souls, drives many druids to linger with fiends in order to extort their secrets.
