General Information

Who are they?

• a collective of herbivorous animals that views itself as the guardians of ancient magic and keepers of the forest’s legacy called the Order of the Hearttree
• faction is governed by a Circle of Mystics, an assembly of seven representatives of the people with the leader (currently Levent) holding the title Chronicler of the Veil

What is their goal?

• want to rediscover and preserve the knowledge of their ancient civilization
• seek to restore the forest’s full magical potential to its former glory, envisioning a harmonious era where magic, nature, and civilization are in perfect balance
