The Academy of Advanced Herbology

The Academy of Advanced Herbology was formed to train new Druids and Alchemists. We offer training in the Arts of Alchemy, Herblore, and possibly even a few more crafts that help the guild out. All members are to uphold the laws of the Academy as well as the laws of other guilds when within their lands and treat all living things with respect.

~The Council~
The council is currently formed of three members and will possibly be extended to five someday. They vote on all new requested rules and handle all administrative affairs of the Academy.

~The Initiate~
When one joins the Academy they are given the rank of Initiate, during this time people of this rank try to prove their dedication to the craft as well as learn herblore, when one is found dedicated and responsible by the guild they are given the rank of apprentice and their training in Alchemy can begin.

(Other rank information coming soon)

---------------------------------------------------

~The Druid Code~

Always act according to your conscience.

I. Respect.
Respect and value every life. Every life, small of big, equals every other one.

II. Protection.
Every life is worth being protected. It should be the task of a Druid to protect life if he can do so.

The nature is the source of every life’s vigour. The Druids are to preserve and guard the nature, as by so doing they preserve and guard the source of all life.

III. Peaceableness.
Always pursue peace and be consistent with your environment. The peace should always be the most desirable way.

IV. Justice.
Be just and wise in your decisions and make them with the knowledge that every life is of the same value.

Thus, grant everyone, be he or she friendly towards you or not, the same justice in your decision.

V. Neutrality.
Seek for balance in all things.
This also includes acting towards other living beings. Try to mediate and reach peaceful solutions, but do not take sides in a fight which is not yours.

VI. Loyality.
Be faithful to your conscience, the codex, the Academy and its members, and your friends. Support them as they would support you.

VII. Knowledge.
Try to accumulate knowledge of nature. Share your experience with the members of the Academy as they share their with you.

Preserve the secrets that are given to you and do not pass them on lightly

~The Alchemist Code~

I. Respect
Respect all living things, do not take life is it can be avoided, should an animal be killed use EVERYTHING from it.

II. Protection.
Every life is worth being protected. It should be the task of an Alchemist to protect life if he can do so.

III. Peace
Peace should always be the most desirable, if a fight starts try to resolve it without Violence. Do not go around and pointlessly kill "Beasts"(undead not included since they are already dead)

IV. Justice.
Be just and wise in your decisions and make them with the knowledge that every life is of the same value.

V. Neutrality.
Seek for balance in all things.
This also includes acting towards other living beings. Try to mediate and reach peaceful solutions, but do not take sides in a fight which is not yours.

VI. Loyality.
Be faithful to your conscience, the codex, the Academy and its members, and your friends. Support them as they would support you.

VII. Knowledge.
Try to accumulate knowledge of nature. Share your experience with the members of the Academy as they share their with you.

Preserve the secrets that are given to you and do not pass them on lightly

Other Comments: I have been on the island for almost a year now and have independently searched for a teacher. This hasn't gone well, and as such I have decided it is now time to search for a teacher in an established group. I have already learned much about Herb Lore and what is located where myself although I am sure there is much more that I need to learn other then that. I look forward to working with the Academy of Herbology in the future, both as a student, and perhaps as a teacher in the future.

Dear friends,

Due to my time away, and that I must leave forever due to some troubles in my homeland I must say farewell. From what I have seen most members are gone. Thank you for trying to keep it together while I was away Vel.

As of this moment the Academy is officialy closed!

Signed,
Ronan
