Natural Phenomena: Shade (Halya), Breeze (Hwesta), Flow (Sira), Storm (Arrna), Wind (Sul), Quake, Bright (Tiri), Light (Me’a), Sunrise (Romen), Wave, (Falma), Air (Vilya), Aloft (Tarasse) Since The Originator taught them both Common and Elvish, they often chose one or the other, or even a combination thereof. Knowing no other convention, they take after The Originator’s surname and combine two words, one of a natural phenomenon and the other plant-related. The Cleansed have no real heritage for names, as their evil brethren held no names they would now want to continue. Only once they reach adulthood can they venture beyond that forest. Once a seedling detaches themselves from the ground, they become a Sproutling, and though now mobile, they cannot sustain themselves away from the forest in which their Aglonnar Tree resides. Often, a group of seedlings are purposely planted in the same area so that they can all be taught together. As seedlings, they are confined to the place at which they first sprouted until they are strong enough to remove themselves from the ground. Aglonnar Trees are not sentient, but give off a sort of psychic aura that the Cleansed can sense.Ĭleansed live in tightly knit communities centralized around the Aglonnar Tree from which they were spawned. The Cleansed would, later on, come to call that Archdruid The Originator and that first tree and all trees of their type Aglonnar Trees. In his success, he created the first tree to bear the seeds of the Cleansed. Despite all his power, he could not destroy the tree, and so instead sought to cleanse it. He rid the forest of all evil until he came upon the tree from which all the Blights were born. His name was Aglonnar Nimbrethil, a wood elf. From that tree, seeds were produced that in turn produced the first Blights.Īnd so for many years, Blights were looked on as evil defilers of forests, corrupting entire ecosystems to the will of their long-lost benefactor. It was infused with the blood of that dreaded man, and from that stake, a tree grew with the help of a deranged druid. It is said that the wooden stake driven through the heart of the abominable vampire was the start of it all. Their beginnings are from evil, but their fate is not. Some are more humanoid than others, and they range widely in size depending on their subrace. The Cleansed resemble their evil brethren, the Blight, in appearance. A plant-based race created from the evil Blight but cleansed to do good and continue their creator's work.
