The druidic tradition of Gaea stretches back for eons right through the era of the gods. The great god of destruction, Gunahkar, struck a fell blow against the Tree of Life in an attempt to hasten the end of the world. In the process of doing so he also nearly annihilated the sildanyar of the fae world and he triggered their exodus to the mortal world and entrance into the War of the Gods.
Sensing the great pain of the World Tree, Dana the Earth Mother journeyed to it and bonded with it. She then took seeds and planted them at various places all across the globe. As time passed these seeds gave flower and blossomed into smaller versions of the original extra planar World Tree. The union of these trees and the magic they permeated the world with crossed thousands of miles and ignored culture and physical boundaries. In time it came to be known as the Ygdrassil Union and those who learned to tap into the magic it provided came to be the first druids.
Many modern day Druids are unspoken members of the Union although smaller druidic circles do exist that are more culturally focused. The oruch of the People of Adom in the northlands have a strong tradition of animism and worship of the elemental forces of nature. Their tribal shamans are often druids who espouse these teachings without realizing, or rationalizing its connection to The Union. Many sylvanori and human druids are members of The Union. Sylvanori druids act as forest wardens and keepers of the boundaries of the great wood while druidic traditions are also common among the Phurai Dae of the Vast.
The Union itself is largely a neutral organization and thus it produces as many benevolent druidic circles as it does tyrannical. Some radical druid groups have been known to take active measures against the continued industrialization efforts of various nations. They speak out against what they believe to be unnatural uses of magic and often prove quite dangerous to the attempts of others to build settlements or to use artifice.
For more on druids and their connection to the divine, see other practitioners of divine magic.

When crafting a druid in Pathfinder, be aware that wildshape uses your base statistics...and then adds to them. That is, a druid who wishes to melee will need to invest in areas such as strength and constitution.
