Sorry, make that "Seeking Druids" please.

What exactly do you mean by it, specifically the "seeking" part? What are they seeking? Do you mean "druids that seek"? Or "druids that are seeking"?

Druids that seek, I suppose -- it will be part of a proper noun to describe a group of druids who are seeking knowledge or power. Thank you.

I think fios 'supernatural knowledge' would do nicely here.

Thanks so much! Would muintir ar lar still work for a group that had "fallen" as in, they had chosen a path of darkness rather than light? Think "fallen angels" for example.

Actually, for fallen in that sense, I'd use uabhar.

Tearma.ie gives "aingeal uabhair" for "fallen angel". So, I'd suggest you use "Muintir Uabhair" for your translation of fallen ones.

umm, I think uabhar has a negative meaning in that sense. Not a fallen hero as I assume the wanted meaning is.
Iiterally "an dream atá tite", but I'm not sure the English meaning would be clear in Irish.
Is there an idiom for this, maybe forum members have given in the past.

Can we get confirmation. You know I can't correct anything with genitives in it lol.
