	Following the realignment of their faith and purpose after the Jantalarian invasion of Talador in 5087, the Green Sisters branched out, almost a third of their surviving members found new residence in Oire. They have since become heavily involved in erecting new shrines and temples to Imaera where their people hold the Goddess of Nature in high regard, praying and reflecting on her in their daily lives. But the Green Sisters still hope to restore life to the Bleaklands of Talador, seeing the war-torn land not as a blemish to avoid, but instead as a wound to heal.

	Herbs appear in gardens and take root in all sorts of unexpected places. They crop up in culinary circles and alchemical workshops as well as providing remedies for aches, pains, wounds and other ailments. The rise in popularity of healing herbs is likely due to everyone being so busy and the assistance of a skilled empath ~~can be~~ difficult to find in remote locations or in the small hours of the night.

	[[File:Ephlox.jpg\|left\|Ephlox Moss]][[File:Marallis.jpg\|right\|Marallis Berries]]Strictly speaking, an herb is a perennial plant whose soft or succulent stems die down to ground level every year but some are mosses, lichens, and even cacti, for example ephlox moss, wolifrew lichen and cactacae spine.

	The green witch is a naturalist, an herbalist, a wise woman, and a healer. Drawing energy from [[Elanthia]] and the Universe, she embraces the power of nature and relies on natural objects like stones and gems to commune with the land or [[Arkati]]. She uses plants, flowers, oils, and herbs for healing; she calls on nature for guidance; and she respects every living being no matter how small.

	The team at Elanthian Vogue have put together a ~~list~~ of garments and accessories for those with empathy for such things. Where femininity meets practicality, the green witch aesthetic usually comprises relaxed or loose layers of natural fabrics in earth tones with adornments of stone and metal. Specific tokens such as green erissian topaz or leaf motifs give a nod towards Imaera or Kuon. The garments featured here were purchased off-the-shelf from established outlets across Elanthia.

	The beginning of the year marked our third anniversary.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support and contributions over the last few years because, without you, we wouldn't be here.

	I sensed a little wistfulness as she rationalized that a sacred charge was more important than girlish whims, and the will of the goddess led her down a different path. Empathic talent was not all that common for a small hamlet like the one she dwelt in. In the great sylvan arbor-cities they could be selective about who should take up the physician's staff, who should master the dream-weaves, and who should hone their minds towards the hierophantic arts.

	She explained how her family had not ~~had~~ an empath for a generation, and all she knew was that when she had been helping her mother with herbal remedies for the wounded, she could sometimes reach out with her mind and soothe the blood before the medicines took hold. It was not until the time she had become violently sick and passed out that she had started to understand its cost. Everyone had been quite insistent afterwards that she pack up and travel into the world to better learn the craft.

	At this, she paused in sudden recollection and broke into an embarrassed laugh. Continuing with a wry smile, she concluded that it had not been easy to dance with those antlers without grievously wounding her partner - but it was not an ill thing to take a risk now and then, and better it would be to replace the formality of the ballroom with the flow of the hunt.

	It was with considerable reluctance that I drew our interview to a close but I was conscious that the sun was setting on that glorious garden and I had taken up enough of her time. Partaking of a final cup of delicious tea, I thanked her for her frankness and for allowing us a brief but fascinating insight into her life and beliefs.
