Heartwood Nature Priests
An ancient order of Elven Nature Priests, sometimes referred to as "The Order". Founded an unknown (but long) time before the Civil War in Terranova. Their home was The Heartwood (The Source) in the south-west of northern Terranova. The priests all carried enchanted blocks of Heartwood.
Knowing bad times were coming and wanting nothing to do with them (and other more complicated motivations), nine priests relocated to the region now known as Carzala. Between then and 821wk, the order gradually lost contact with each other.
