Now this dicotemy in the PHB (generic rules) does not cause a conflict with the BR setting specific ones, IMO.

Druids (in BR) draw their power from Erik (thus eliminating the option of directly from nature) and rangers draw theirs directly from nature (thus allowing elves to cast divine spells without worhipping a deity).

Rjurik rangers can still (and will) pay homage to Erik, but do not draw their spells from him.



a lot of things in cerilia is different then in the standard D'n'D, but that is a standard question if the nature itself can provide power to its followers, than why no one pray to nature and why we have human god representing it.
If Erik is not nature, what is nature, and what is druidic magic ?
Power of the land, then what is arcane magic ?
Or maybe i am mistaking maybe the Erik is just a god of Rjuric,forests & tundra
