Class: Single water gate Kineticist
Hortus was created by the ambitious druid Mara for the purpose of replicating the effects of Hosshal'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 Madarch, Hortus took an interest in Silvester because of her strange connection with the Peris.

Born a hyperactive problem child, they were taken to a monastery to learn discipline. They shed their family name and became a scribe and student of religious canon. When Diofyn began invading Gwyrth, they fought as a warrior monk but was captured as a prisoner of war and sent away to Madarch. Now, they want to build a monastery for their monastic order here in Madarch. Upon arriving on Madarch, they were targeted by one of Silvester's scams, which they saw right through immediately. Narmer made it their mission to put Silvester on the right path again, and they soon became friends.

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 Byr keys to evacuees under the alias “Silvester” in the threat of impending war between the other human 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 Hosshal after a romantic relationship with a Peris turned very sour. The wrathful lasting influence of the Peris marks a gnome 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 Hosshal soil in Diofyn. 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.
