Characters, Places, & Terms

Sigils of Power – Using the Druidic (rune-based) language of Ogham, Druids create sigils as amplifiers of intent and typically incorporate one or more of the five Elements. They would etch them in wood, metal, or stone. Applying woad on one’s skin (called woading) could also have been used by a Druid to leverage such sigils. link
Ollamh – Healers could seize the void to draw on the deep understanding of healing and pull power from the Tuatha realm to mend the sick and wounded. They wore green and red robes, typically commanding Aether and Earth or Water Elements to heal. link
