reword this paragraph.
The ancient druids were considered "Meriphilic",[1] but their tolerance for outside influence would eventually wane.[2] Seeking to tame nature, the Direnni forged a pact with the Earthbones to protect their roads and settlements from the forest and the beasts that inhabited it.[3] The Druids of Galen believed civilization should live alongside nature, not control it.[2] | find a source that elaborates on this conflict, if there is one.
Ultimately, they split from Bretondom around 1E 330, ruling over the early Bretons with fearsome magic.[4] The Direnni Hegemony did not take kindly to the attempts for druidic governance of the province, and the Alessian Order persecuted the druids as they deviated from their religion.[5] Following the guidance of Y'ffre's visions,[6] a song, or an Elder Scroll,[1] Druid King Kasorayn led somewhere between an estimated few thousand to a million druids on an exodus to the Systres.[6][1] A few remained on the mainland.[2]
-Some druids seek to "restore the soul of Bretondom" by returning their city-dwelling brethren back to their druidic roots, as they believe the cityfolk are prone to destroying nature and causing bloodshed through wars.[5] | This is an ideological thing; should probably be relegated to a druid page.
