Heed the dreamers. Some walk the world as you and I, influencing the dreamscape. Others exist there, shaping our world. Walk with the knowledge that you are never alone and hope that your path, dreamed of, is filled with pleasantness and not with the restlessness of nightmares.
The world exists in these two states, then, whether you know it or not. We do our part to make sure those of us who came before and those yet to arrive only have the best of dreams. Living a good life, finding inner peace and helping others do the same will shape the world in turn. Hurting others and accepting inner turmoil only brings about chaos.
Is is sad to know that there are many who don't wish to sleep for fear of nightmares and there are many who don't wish to wake for the same fear. We do our part to walk a path, the one presented to you now.
Peace for the dreamer. Calm for the awake. Serenity for those yet to come, recognition for those who have gone. That is who we must be for everyone, most importantly for ourselves.
Lesson from the Bushi Bunjida Nyukuti to his student Jarlika Yindiko
Being the first species of plantfolk that the Planar Council encountered, contact with the Heartwood Treefolk initially caused some shock amongst its member species of the time. Myths from various other worlds contained intelligent trees and their existence had been speculated upon but the initial explorers had no idea what they would encounter. Luckily the inhabitants of Verdavent proved to be peaceful and welcoming. Their presence in the Planar Council would help ease future encounters with more alien species found across the planes.
The Dirame Zameta are an older species, their civilization having collapsed due to conflicts centuries ago. After suffering through a period of decline, eventually a new era of stability was reached. Previously warlike, society would shift to replacing military leaders with ones who focused on philosophy and knowledge. As they rebuilt they took a deeper look at their past and their surroundings and started to build the cultural cornerstones that make up the foundations of the current cultures of Verdavent. Known for being a voice of reason within the Planar Council, the Heartwood gladly take their place amongst the planes as they think of themselves as members of a dream shared by millions.
