There's a rather abrupt encounter in Bk1 where you find an underground chamber with a man with a staff who blasts you with magic before you run away. The only indication as to his identity is that he is supposedly one of a group of evil druids whose conclave you have disturbed. Could this be an early appearance of a Cener Druid? Perhaps even Cadak himself given the staff.

Perhaps even Cadak himself given the staff. Yes, it is a Cener Druid: The Temple of Raumas was once a secret shrine and place of worship for a race of healers known as the Herbalish. It was destroyed by the Cener Druids of Ruel in the year 994 MS, a long time before the Sommlending arrived and took over the land. The Druids of Malis Mound (see ref. no. 93 in ‘Flight from the Dark’) are direct descendants of the evil Ceners. They have pledged themselves to the destruction of any who would dare try to rebuild the temple. The Kai and the army of Sommerlund tried on many occasions to rid their land of these evil druids, but all attempts proved unsuccessful; the druids simply melted into the honeycomb of tunnels that they have excavated beneath the foothills of the Durncrag Mountains. Also, in book 13, we are told: Only a year ago, a sect of Cenerese was found in the foothills of the Durncrags engaging in blood rituals at a site less than a day’s ride from the Kai Monastery. |

Interesting, thanks. Magnamund is so rich in detail.
