Most moonspeakers regard one another as peers, but younger moonspeakers generally defer to older moonspeakers in most matters. In the case of serious dissent between two moonspeakers, an impartial group of three others decides the issue. With the exception of these simple principles, moonspeakers remain largely independent from one another—an organization only in the sense that one member generally helps and supports another when needed.
Although the moonspeakers are now a largely benevolent influence in shifter society, rumors persist of an ancient sect of evil moonspeakers who were once bound to a dark, thirteenth moon.
From the rural communities of the Eldeen Reaches to shifter enclaves in the great cities of Khorvaire, the moonspeaker druids guide much of the religious beliefs of the shifter race. The moonspeakers perform a valuable role among many shifters: Because they often travel from one shifter community to another, they maintain the bond between the various communities. Moonspeakers provide a feeling of belonging to a group larger than the immediate shifter populace, a racial bond that the fragmented and often distrusted shifters find immensely comforting.
