Mother's Shepherds

With magic no longer falling apart, the world began healing. The land became saturated with magic and nature took over. Instead of fighting against the growing mass of trees, grasses, and other planets, the people of Ovenica worked with them. Druids became a heavily sought after resource to help with creating houses, buildings, and even whole cities out of living plant-life.

A new faction known as Mother’s Shepherds, has been created from this need for druids. The Shepherds make their headquarters within the many Trees of Sanctuary that have grown around Ovenica. They bend and twist the trunks, using the trees' own magic, to create living skyscrapers. The druids use these trees as conduits to travel from place to place in conjunction with the new teleportation technology. Shepherds are fundamental in keeping society running smoothly, yet very often their work can go unnoticed. Most of the druids don’t mind however, and many within Ovenica make great strides to thank them for their service. Every year, on the summer solstice, parades are held in most cities to honour the druids’ work.

Structure

Shepherds are largely self governing. Individuals are not expected to take orders from any others. Occasionally Shepherds will come together under one leader or another to accomplish larger tasks but this is almost always a case by case basis.

Culture

Shepherds living side by side in Trees of Sanctuary either find ways to work together or simply do their best to stay out of each others way. Mutual respect is not hard to come by within the Shepherds and even the title of Shepherd is mostly given out freely to anyone who wishes to consider themselves one. That being said, word travels fast between the Trees and the people who live in them. A Shepherd who proves problematic will quickly find themselves shunned by person and Tree alike.

Public Agenda

Mother's Shepherds strive to uphold the new infrastructure of Ovenica. Together they weave the ever growing plants into sensational pieces of architecture, or gently guide them out of the way of planned structures. For a time, much of the world was severely dependant on the Shepherds, but in more recent years their talents have been on maintenance instead of construction.

One with nature.
