![[Image - Lore - Standing Stones of the Painted Druids.png]] These are circles of standing stones dotted throughout [[The Western Realm]]. Certain people are able to interact with them in, gaining magical tattoos which grant abilities. The circles were erected by [[The Painted Druids]]. #### Characters who can interact with these stones - [[Leigh Ravenscroft]] - [[Staiger Ren]] #### Flavor *The woods in this area seem to get thicker. The trees here are taller than else where, they cling more closely together and they cast deeper shadows. Suddenly You break through a line of tree trunks and come out into a small canopied clearing where the grass grows tall and wild flowers bloom. Before you are three tall standing stones.* *You reach out and touch the stone, and instantly feel a sense of calm. Engravings upon its surface which were previously difficult to make out begin to glow with a soft blue-white light. (Share the image here) Time slows down and you notice the wind pushing slowly though the blades of grass, each one bending in slow motion, moving independently, but connecting with the blades beside it, forming slow ripples of green shadow. You feel a pain in your arm and look down as lines of light are traced beneath your skin. You pull your hand back from the stone and look down at your arm and the newly drawn druidic symbols just beneath the skin.*
