Explore the thrilling origins of the druid Doric in this original
prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
For as long as she can remember, Doric has felt alone. Abandoned by her
human parents, she wandered for years before being taken in by a
community of Neverwinter Wood elves. But her horns and tail proclaim a
tiefling heritage, and even among the kindest of elves, her fledgling
druidic abilities mark her as different from the rangers around her. And
as humans begin to encroach farther and farther into the once pristine
woods, Doric knows she needs to master her druidic capabilities if she
is to be any help to her adopted family. With no means of helping Doric
themselves, her guardians see no choice but to send her somewhere she
can come into her own.
Tucked among the ancient pines of the Ardeep Forest hides the Emerald
Enclave, an order of warriors tasked with preserving the natural world.
They fight to maintain balance between the forces of the wild and
civilization, and in doing so, protect the sanctity of each.
Among their order, Doric begins to find power in her differences. But
not all her fellow initiates are so capable of new growth, and as her
training continues, Doric is forced to confront the very beliefs that
brought her into the Enclave's fold. If she's going to protect her home,
she'll have to reckon with her people, her power, and the walls she's
built to keep herself safe from both.
