ELLETHIA

---

Goodbye & farewell to Taravast, as the party heads into the mysterious, if sadly downtrodden Ellethia. Our latest log has gone up to cover 3-17 January, and you can make your individual plotting comments or ask questions here!

Admittedly, he'd be prodding the trees/notably impressive plants for any sense of awareness, but generally no, not sentience (UNLESS??), but just like anything that might feel notably different from normal plant life.

Where normal plants are just vague impressions of growth, sunlight, hydration, soil- or lack thereof for things not thriving.

Like if the plants are thriving in spite of subpar conditions, or if they're maybe growing as a result of something magical rather than natural- those would be strange impressions.

Right, okay — I'm admittedly still not 100% sure what would or wouldn't register based on Eleven's unique skillset, but to give this a crack: they'd feel like regular plants, but experiencing a more accelerated life cycle. There is definitely no awareness/sentience, and there's no magical print.

No worries- it's a developing skill expanded from communing with Yggdrasil roots and things for a more druidic leaning. Plant vibing. I didn't really expect he'd sense anything, but figured I'd ask.

Accelerated growth though- ok cool, thanks! :>

[groundrules]

It's not just accelerated growth, but also ageing — it's the entire life cycle.

Reading comprehension.

But oho so it is plants, too. Hm! ..I just had to google if grass gets 'old'. Interesting and good to know :>

[groundrules]

The only difference is that the plants don't die at the end of the day.

[bearshermark]

Gotcha. Thank you!
