Structure

• Grove-keepers: Whoever in a village tends the shrines and sacred places leads her devotion.

• The Cultivation Order: Druids who share her belief that growth can be guided and helped, not just left to nature's will.

Rituals

• Bless seeds before they go into the ground.

• Leave the first bloom of the season at her shrines.

• Sit with the sick and grieving to remind them the green always returns.

Duties

• Shelter the fragile: the orphaned, the convalescent, the newly-planted.

• Tend groves, gardens, and shrines as living, working spaces.

• Bring comfort and the promise of renewal to those in hardship.

Temples

Small and living places: a tended grove, a greenhouse, a planted shrine at a field's edge. They are working spaces as much as worship spaces, full of growing things in someone's daily care.

Aphorisms

• "Tend the seed and trust the season."
