8.2.10 The Heartwood Kin
Steadfast and dedicated to Nature's cause, the Heartwood Kin is an assembly of forestal guardians and nurturers who embrace the spiritual mysteries of the Wilds and seek to become conduits of Her Realm. By surrendering to their senses rather than the restraints of civilisation, they endeavour to uncover the unexplored depths of Nature by bringing voice and sight to the stories of Her wilderness. Like the roots of a mighty oak, growing deep and strong to support the tree's many branches, so do the Heartwood Kin desire to strengthen the foundations of Eleusis with wisdom and foresight. Delving into primordial mysteries woven throughout the world, the Heartwood Kin leave no stone unturned or leaf unlifted. By embracing the voice of Nature in communion with the earth, they seek to unveil the myriad elements of Nature. Walkers amongst the beasts, sages of the flora, and savants of the earth, to the Heartwood Kin each and every aspect of Nature is interconnected, existing as a vast, elaborate nexus that ties together all sentient life. Possessing an unequivocal bond with Nature and their brethren, the Heartwood Kin finds harmony through traditions, ritualism, and an unbreakable familial spirit. While possessing a multitude of backgrounds and talents, they find common bonds in their unabating search for the Wild's hymns and the ardent defence of Nature.
