Description
Skin shifters are defenders of nature, blessed by the spirits of the wild with the ability to shape shift into powerful animal forms. Prowling as beasts or charging across the field, they protect the balance of nature and punish those who would upset it.
A primalist is a wielder of primal energies and magic, sometimes taught by forces of primal power, including powerful elementals or fey of the First World. Primalists protect the natural world, offering strong medicine to those in need while facing suspicion from those who don't understand their ways.
A great many primalists belong to druidic circles, and even those who aren't members tend to be familiar with the most prominent ones in their homeland.
