In the beginning there was a Seed. Nourished by the surrounding Chaos, the Seed sprouted, growing quickly. So was born the Forest Lord who in time grew lush and green.
From the center of the Sun Bloom, the Green One cast its seeds across the heavens. One of these fell to the earth, took root and so was born the Russah. And the Russah looked about them and saw the great diversity of life, and giving thanks that they may live with and within their Creator, they set about caring for the body of the Forest Lord, pruning, nourishing and helping it to grow.
Aemgo is a land of forests. In the center is a forested mountain range while to the south is a large lake. Rivers and streams are abundant, and the forests range from alpine to lush jungle. Currently the land is in the shape of a rough oval, with the east-west axis being about 2000 km and the north-south being about 1000 km. The world is the physical incarnation of the Forest Lord.
Russah
Description: A large deciduous tree 20 meters
high and an average of 10 tons. Russah cannot
move and sense their environment through
temperature variations, pheromones, the presence
of light, moisture, heat, etc. Due to their
long life spans, Russah tend to plan projects
for the long term, leaving short term problems
to the Shaerone. The Russah consider themselves
the Children of the Forest Lord. These are
medium-scale beings.

Skills: Forest Evolution (d, MP)
Forest Evolution: The power to change the
forest or entities within the forest over
a season. By drawing upon their own link
to the Forest Lord, the Russah can awaken
the god in the subject to bring about change.
The change made will always be beneficial
to the forest as a whole, not necessarily
to an individual. Examples: giving sentience
to the Shaerone, creating a thorny barrier,
breaking or creating a drought, etc.

Shaerone
Description: A furred humanoid similar to
a cross between a monkey and a rodent 1.5
meters high and 35 kg on average. The long
supple tail can act as another limb, though
it is weaker than the arms and legs. Shaerone
tend to have an artistic bent and a strong
natural curiosity. The Shaerone often live
in great tree enclaves, but the majority
of families still prefer to migrate along
the forest ways.
