Questions and answers
What is a good name for a druid?
A short name in an old Celtic sound, a byname from the wild such as Oakseer, and a calling. Cathbad, chief druid of the Ulster Cycle, is a name from legend; most names here are invented.
What did druids do?
Greek and Roman writers describe the druid as a priest, teacher, judge and custodian of religious and legal tradition in Gaul and Britain. Caesar wrote that they judged nearly all disputes. How reliable these accounts are has long been debated.
Did druids have surnames?
None is recorded. Diviciacus, the only druid of antiquity known by name, has a single name. A druid in a story usually carries a byname instead, and the byname row here is written for that.
Are these names from a game?
No. No class, circle or spell of any game is named. The invented names and bynames were written for this page and searched as page titles on Wikipedia and on fantasy fan wikis.
