I wanted to ask, but is it correct in thinking that priests of malar are druids?

I dont know if in FK I would call Priests of Malar druids, unless the specific priests roleplays the druidic side of it. Just like not every priest of Mielikki Is not considered a druid (at least in Table Top anyway). Its funny though becuase Mielikki goes beyond the norm in allowing her druids to be Nuetral Good instead of true nuetral. Part of Her Dogma is based on Harmony with the wilds and Compassion for the creatures that cannot defend themselves. Thus being the exact opposite of her Malar focuses on the not so nice side of the cycle, his druids will finish of a wounded animal, hunt regulary, and revel in the strength that comes from killing another life aspect.

A druid of Mielikki would see a wounded animal and help it to regain its life, where a true nuetral druid of lets say Sylvanus would let it sit to see if he can get well on his own for the sake of the cycle, where also a Druid of Malar would finish it off for the sake of it being weak.

Ahh, alright, got that, one other question. Would a Neutral Evil priest of malar be allowed to call themselves a druid, or would they be required to be True Neutral like all the others?


Would this also apply to druids of Talos and Umberlee?

FK wise, I believe the only Druids are priests of Mielikki and Chauntea. D&D wise, druids can follow Malar, but his priests are not considered Druids. And since Druids can be any brand of neutral, there would be no conflict.
