Description

Viridianites are elemental embodiments of different forms of aether, with a core of viridian aether that binds them together. They take on different appearances depending on the kind of aether that surrounds their core, which is always a green orb of energy. Those that are pure viridian aether usually take the form of a figure that combines features of plants, animals, fungi, and landforms.

Procreation

Viridianites spontaneously form within natural regions.

Powers

Viridianites have near absolute power over nature within their locality. They have influence over other living things near them that are part of their sphere, and they are capable of drawing from their core and channeling viridian aether in its purest form to alter nature around them.

Aetherial Forms

Some viridianites draw other forms of aether around their core, becoming elementals of different kinds. None have multiple forms of aether around their core - it's always one form of aether plus the viridian core. They therefore have forms and powers that reflect the different aethers they wield.

Elemental Spheres

Viridianites have an affinity for other elemental beings, whether elementals or of other species with natural aetherial energies. They can influence them or even control them if they are powerful enough, but they only do so if they feel it necessary to protect their sphere.

Weaknesses

Brown aether harms them. Being outside of their element weakens them

Nations

There are no viridianite nations, though they sometimes join other nations that dwell near them.

Behavior

Viridianites are embodiments of an element and exist mostly individually, manifesting within areas that are heavy with the energy they reflect - i.e., viridianites within a forest reflect the forest, etc. They exist in communion with the aether around them and therefore fight to protect and preserve it.

Esoterica

Viridianites are beings of viridian aether who wield all forms of aether. They do not use any other energy.

Religion

Viridianites have an inherent knowledge of Viridanor, the Divinity who protects and preserves nature, and they honor them, and they serve and honor Mother Shem individually.

Gender

They contain all within their sphere and therefore represent all genders within themselves when relevant and no genders when relevant.

Outside View

Most mortals think of viridianites as nature spirits, which are a separate but similar thing (and invisible), and generally, they are feared because they are willing to kill to preserve their spheres. Many class societies try to either control and harness them or to destroy them in order to exploit the lands they protect. Some, however, try to work with them cooperatively and build around and with them.

Notables

Estimated Populations

In total, there are about 500,000 viridianites in the world at any given time.
