Wrath of Nature – Selesnya:

Maiselenia:

A mystical consciousness that the Selesnyan Guild believes is the embodiment of nature, green mana, and this Guild considers itself the voice of Myslesnya. The entire Guild is the mouthpiece of this single voice, and they are expanding their power by spreading the prophecies that Mycerenia conveyed in the Emerald Dream. Selesnya's prophecies are both personal and public. The Selesnyans believed that by suppressing their personal consciousness, they could understand the Covenant Whisperers, a group of dryads who were well versed in Messellnyan consciousness.

Selesnya's goal is to include all individual members and transform them into members of the Order. Selesnya is based on the Venadi, a community spread throughout Elsa, each built around a central tree and led by a Dryad.

Drostani:

Djostani is the leader of the Selesnya League. Drostani is a triune dryad who rules over the Selesnyan Order. Of course, the Selesnyans would say that she was ultimately following Maiselenia's wishes. The split of the three dryads of Zostani each embodies the values of a Selesnya. The head on the right embodies order, and her tone is low and steady. The head on the left represents life, and she expresses her thoughts with a lilting singing voice. The head in the middle embodies harmony, and she always whispers and has a crisp voice. Each head was dressed in her own unique way, and their eyes varied, ranging from verdant green to shiny silver. The Harmony Leader in the middle rarely speaks, but when he does, everyone in the guild worships him as if he were a god. While the Selesnyans don't believe in any single point of power, the giant World Tree Vitugarki is the centerpiece of the entire Guild and home to the guild halls. The trunk of Vitujaki is the sanctuary of the faithful, with devotees from all over Aisha, and is also home to the guildmaster Drostani and the guild led by the dryad.

Selesnyan Settlement:

Ivory Oak Forest:

The vast woods here are guarded by an organized group of albino loxtod battle priests. These priests wore green robes, covered with silver armor and inlaid with the ornaments characteristic of their organization. They often use blunt weapons as weapons, and the material comes from the ivory oak forest itself. The strength, purity, and longevity of the oak grove are the reasons for their holiness. From the outside, the oaths and ceremonies loom among the branches of the oak forest. Weddings presided over by priests, negotiations, pre-departure prayers, and covenants were held in the grove.

Overseeing everything here is the monk Drozron, a wrinkled-faced elephant clan. By strict Selesnyan standards, he was a rebel because he put the natural world ahead of the Guild's needs. This is mainly reflected in his care of the sacred tree of Berox. The Selesnyan leadership was tempted to declare sovereignty over the Sacred Tree, but Drazlon insisted that the tree be open to all Aisha, regardless of whether he belonged to the Guild or not, as long as he wished to come and pay homage to the Sacred Tree or seek the blessings of the Sacred Tree's magic.

Green Eagle Grove Sumala:

Imagine a large and densely wooded forest, in which all the plants are carefully planted and all the trees are carefully pruned so that they do not entangle with each other or encroach on each other's space. Sumala is a huge meditation garden and is also home to some magnificent Selesnyan architecture as well as beautiful works of art. Sumara is well-known throughout Elsa, and the main designer is the fairy wood sculptor Sadruna. All of Selesnya and even other guilds seek, imitate, and even copy Sadruna's designs and techniques.

Mega Shuttle Network:

It is a vast collection of intertwined roads that are erected at the top of the canopy. The roads are paved with polished limestone, the purest and whitest kind. A giant shuttle network glistens in the sun. Some of the roads converge with dark granite sigils of Selesnya, which mark the gathering of large numbers of devotees and the holding of some high-level religious ceremonies. On weekdays, this road network is only used for markets and supplies, and it can also walk large herds of wild beasts without damaging the well-cultivated woods below.

Creature of Selesnya:

Wurm:

The Selesnyans are proud of their wurm. Due to the congestion of the cities in Aisha's world, underground travel gives Selesnya an advantage in terms of mobility. Of course, when it comes to burrowing, it is the pit worm that has the advantage of being a creature. Wurm summoners are a specialized branch of shamans who have the means to harness wurms and tame these giant beasts. In Elsa, wurms spew out secretions at high speed and force, converting the land into a liquid-like substance so that they can move through it quickly. The shamans put the wurm in a room covered with white wood armor, allowing them to take several passengers on underground journeys at a time. Most of the time, wurms are used for defense, and shamans direct wurm's actions in the room.

Natural Elements:

Selesnyan elements are usually composed of entwined roots and bamboo. Sometimes, large elements wield large blocks of white marble and limestone as weapons or draped them as armor. If the elements are large enough, they often become public buildings and temples. They can rise from the ground at any time, or move somewhere else or guard Venadi.

Revitalising the Temple:

These are medium-sized, multi-tissue natural elements that inhabit the ground and are dominated by a root-like system, with vines entwined around fixed stone buildings on the ground. These stone buildings were usually temples or rotundas used in Selesnya's daily life. If the Guild is threatened, the priest or shaman will summon the living temples, and the entire elemental will emerge from the ground, and the stone that makes up the building will remain one with the elemental, used as armor or weapon. After the enemy retreated, the revitalized temples returned to the ground, rebuilding the stones into buildings as if nothing had happened.

Selesnya's Philosophy and Philosophy:

Aisha's Will:

Aisha's will, also known as the Voice of the Alliance, is the precise transmission of Myselenia's consciousness. The Guild also collects and disseminates experience and knowledge from guild members. The deeper the member's meditation and dedication to the guild, the clearer the knowledge he gains. After death, through a magical ritual, the entire experience of the Selesnyan (i.e., his soul) is "uploaded" to Elsa's will. The more members give, the deeper their connection to Elsa's will. Some of Selesnya's most loyal members possessed vast knowledge by being connected to Aisha's will.

The Temptation of Strength and Knowledge:

In this world, the Selesnyans believe that all their leaders, no matter how they have attained their status, are fallible mortals, nothing special. As a result, some of the Selesnyan elders have some self-aggrandizement based on their own ambitions, and they are proud of the growth and beauty of their own Venadi.

Violence and Hypocrisy:

A well-known secret is Selesnya's hypocrisy in her approach to life. Because of Selesnya's teachings on the holiness of life, one might think that they were outright pacifists. On the contrary, they will not hesitate to put countless manpower into battle. One of Selesnya's main tactics is to create a living shield of creatures to block enemies until their large elementals or Sages come along and destroy everything. After the death of these men, Selesnya held a large ceremony to praise the sacrifice of the noble warrior and tell how all life was attributed to Meselenia, but the piles of corpses were hard evidence to hide.

Protector of Beauty:

The Selesnyan League is the guardian of natural and man-made beauty. In Vitugarqui there are whole scrolls and rules about the proper arrangement of the landscape, the use of the best stones, the arrangement of various types of trees and the most pleasing appearance of the leaves. Some believe that all stones should be free of any dirt, others believe that there should be no visible traces of human treatment, but all agree that showing beauty is an important value of life.

"Okay, that's it for Aiji, let's do it, next... Before Michael could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Joshua.

"Daddy! I'm going to be a wizard like you and go and be a consultant to Big Brother Anthony! Joshua jumped excitedly on the table, dancing and shouting. But immediately Lena pointed at her finger, and the edge of the table suddenly shortened, and Joshua's indecent attempt to jump on the table was stillborn, and a dog gnawed on the mud and fell to the ground.

Agilyl covered her mouth and sneered, and little Lena clapped her hands too. Joshua covered his head and 'cut' at his sister, then took his sister's hand with his other hand to stop her from clapping.

Michael smiled and watched his son make a fool of himself, he felt that his son's personality was really similar to himself, and he was afraid that his son would inherit his mantle in the future. However, Michael, who was immersed in joy, was interrupted by his wife's elongated black face, and he immediately became serious and said solemnly, "Well, becoming a wizard is the wisest decision you have ever made, Josh, but, then again, since you are going to become a wizard, then from tomorrow, you must be taught by me." ”

"What do you want to learn?" Joshua sat back in his chair and asked his father.

"Josh, you know, as my son, the clever brain you inherited from me...

"Focus!" Lena clutched her temples and glared at her husband fiercely.

"Well, as my son, you inherited from me a lot more talent for mana perception and manipulation than ordinary people, but that wasn't enough to guarantee that you would be a good wizard."

Michael paused for a moment, then said, "Starting tomorrow, you and Lena are going to take my lessons, oh Lena, don't put on a crying face, the main thing is that your brother is going to listen to the class, you just listen... ”

Little Lena was reluctant, instinctively resisted when she heard the words in class, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Oh! God, Aiji, coax Lena—she's about to cry! God, Lena! Honey, go and hug her! Michael begged his eldest daughter and wife helplessly.

However, one of the women and the girl intervened indifferently, and the other pretended not to hear, playing with their hair.

"Okay, okay! Hell yes, good girl, how about we go fishing while Josh is in class? Michael had no choice but to say so.

Little Lina's expression immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and she nodded to express her feelings.

Seeing that his youngest daughter was happy to accept, Michael continued, "Josh, let's go on to say that to be a good wizard, we need to learn the way wizards think and see the world. I'll teach you how to sense mana and control mana; I'll teach you meditation, I'll teach you math; Oh, of course, you also have to learn to write with your mother, don't be in a hurry to deny, I know you can write. What I'm trying to say is that you have to learn to write long paragraphs with your mother, not just spell your own name ... ”
