The Druids' Challenge

It is rumored that a druidic cult established a hidden coven somewhere in the wilderness. Though reclusive, they would offer help and even rewards to those able to find them and overcome some unknown challenge.

The following "poem" supposedly provides directions to their abode.

(Librarian's note: ha! It's pure gibberish, and it doesn't even rhyme properly.)

"Leave the city of corruption,
Through the gates of redemption.
Find the five elven bards,
Play the score and pass.
Climb the steps of heaven,
Follow the north bright star.
Spin thrice then face right,
Shun day travel at night. 
Pay your due and bow,
See the east moon glow."
