The Druid Histories, kept in Paranor, chronicle the complete history of the Old World (what was passed down through word of mouth and from what books survived the great war) and the New World, with particular focus on magical, supernatural and mystical phenomena. All Druids are historians, and one of the jobs of the Druid Order is to continuously update these histories.

  • The Druid Histories, kept in Paranor, chronicle the complete history of the Old World (what was passed down through word of mouth and from what books survived the great war) and the New World, with particular focus on magical, supernatural and mystical phenomena. All Druids are historians, and one of the jobs of the Druid Order is to continuously update these histories. The Druid Histories are also protected against danger: when threatened, they immediately return to the vault where they are stored. Anyone in contact with one when this happens will also be transported, as illustrated by Cogline's escape from the Shadowen.
