Ancestry: Fruit leshy
Birthplace: Inpetus
Background: Plant whisperer
Class: Single water gate Kineticist
Hortus was created by the ambitious druid Mara for the purpose of replicating the effects of Arafani's soil. It was certainly exceptional, being able to command the element of water with magical martial techniques, but it failed to prove it could fulfill its purpose to very powerful people in the Union Parliament. Mara, furious and embarrassed, couldn't sweep the destruction of the leshy under the rug, so it was sent away to Madarch. However, Mara's own waste of UP money and time landed him in prison, and was soon also sent to Madarch. Now, Hortus wants to succeed where it failed before by learning about Madarch's secrets and someday transforming itself to fulfill its purpose. Upon arriving in Hendir, Hortus took an interest in Silvester because of her strange connection with the Peris.

Ancestry: Umbral gnome
Birthplace: Eremita
Background: Charlatan
Class: Giant instinct Barbarian
Silvester is a Eremitan gnome peasant turned shoddy woodworking artisan turned drug seller trying to get money fast to get her family out of debt. Her most recent scam was trying to sell fake Nena keys to evacuees under the alias “Silvester” in the threat of impending war between the other Inpetan kingdoms and Eremita. She and her keysmithing cohort got caught and she became a Barbarian in prison before learning that she would be sent out to Madarch. Silvester's ancestors left Arafani after a romantic relationship with a Peris turned very sour. The wrathful lasting influence of the Peris marks an arafayi as “umbral.” Upon arriving at the colony, she tried to scam the fellow prisoner Narmer, who began to set her back on the right path. The leshy Hortus took interest in her after learning about her strange connection to the Peris.

Mara is a druid who wanted to recreate the Peris-influenced properties of Arafani soil in Inpetus. He created a leshy for this purpose, and although the leshy came out special, it could not do what Mara wanted it to do. It proved it could not during a demonstration to officials in the Union Parliament, who had given Mara much funding for the project's success. Mara's failure to produce results had him and the leshy jailed, and eventually shipped to Madarch for his knowledge of plants and to make himself useful.
