<p>Actively involved in agriculture and nature conservation, Greenwardens are invaluable to Marcandrian farmers facing crop or livestock issues. They offer guidance on crop rotations, companion planting with natural pest repellents like garlic or marigolds, and other sustainable farming practices. Their expertise comes from a mix of teachings and experience, together with the guidance they discern from the Heartmender in the crops and animals. Greenwardens will pray and perform rituals in the fields shortly after sowing, beseeching the Heartmender for healthy growth and a bountiful harvest. Greenwardens also serve as counselors, offering advice and wisdom to small communities, particularly those less fortunate.</p> <p>Actively involved in agriculture and nature conservation, Greenwardens are invaluable to Marcandrian farmers facing crop or livestock issues.

<p>Greenwardens advocate for environmental stewardship, opposing practices that harm or exploit the land. They lobby and preach against excessive logging without replanting and other destructive activities, with their unrelenting nagging and complaining often being exceptionally annoying to those involved in such endeavors. Still, one would have to go rather far in one's overexploitation of nature before a Greenwarden would intervene forcefully. Greenwardens will often task themselves with cleaning up waterways, planting saplings, and restoring natural habitats in the region they operate.</p> <p>Greenwardens advocate for environmental stewardship, opposing practices that harm or exploit the land.

<p>The Greenwardens also do ritual services, such as wedding and funeral ceremonies, either on their own or in collaboration with Marcandria's other two major clergies. Wedding ceremonies involving only the Greenwardens are typically seen as a “poor man's wedding”, mostly utilized by the lower classes, who cannot afford the added extravagance that comes with involving the Joybringers or the Meranzeum. Those without money at hand to afford such extravagance thus turns to the Greenwardens for a cheaper and more modest wedding ceremony. A tradition for weddings involving the Greenwardens is for the newly wedded couple to spend their first night together in either a crop field or flower field, a tradition which is more commonly followed by lower class newlyweds than upper class ones. It is believed that the Heartmender will bless the newlyweds with a fertile union as they spend the first night in the field. Greenwardens also participate in funeral services, as the Heartmender is typically seen as theone who'll come for you at the end of your life's cycle, to guide you to the afterlife.</p> <p>The Greenwardens also do ritual services, such as wedding and funeral ceremonies, either on their own or in collaboration with Marcandria's other two major clergies.

<p>Greenwardens spend a noticeable amount of their time praying and meditating in fields or in their lush gardens, where they attempt to deepen their bond with the Heartmender and look for signs of guidance. Greenwardens believe Fiori communes through crops and flowers, with plants and flowers either blooming or drooping in response to their prayers and meditation. The Greenwardens believe the Heartmender's guidance can be discerned based on which plants bloom or droop around them as they pray and meditate. How good they are at deciphering this puzzle is often equated to how deep their bond is with the Heartmender.</p> <p>Greenwardens spend a noticeable amount of their time praying and meditating in fields or in their lush gardens, where they attempt to deepen their bond with the Heartmender and look for signs of guidance.

<p>Dedicated to deepening their connection with Fiori, Greenwardens spend considerable time in prayer and meditation within nature, seeking signs and guidance through the responses of plants to their presence. This practice underscores their belief in Fioris communication through the natural world.</p> <p>The Greenwardens also conduct rituals of prayer involving planting a number of different seeds in the same pot, often together with someone whose come to them seeking the Heartemender's guidance. The person will pray for guidance on a specific topic, planting the seeds as they do so. The Greenwarden will then tend to the pot, waiting for seeds to sprout. The Heartmender's guidance is then discerned based on which seeds germinated, and the growth pattern of each seed that did. This method of communication is thus rather slow, and is believed to be the Heartmender's way of reinforcing the patience and contemplation she preaches in her followers. it is believed that this method will make people contemplate on how to solve their problems on their own first, only resulting in utilizing this ritual if they find her guidance worth the wait on this particular question.</p>
<p>Significant time is also spent in meditation and prayer, particularly in their gardens or amidst nature, seeking to deepen their connection with the Heartmender and to interpret her will through the behavior of plants around them.</p> <p>Greenwardens often identify potential apprentices through their interactions, inviting those who show promise to learn their ways. The Greenwarden will teach the apprentice about the Heartmender, the different rituals and ceremonies the Greenwardens conduct, how to look for and discern Her guidance in the plants around one, how to cultivate different medicinal plants, and the processes they go through to turn raw materials into medicinal compounds. An apprentice will often remain with their mentor for a time even after they've been taught everything there is to know, assisting their mentor's endeavors. After an apprenticeship, when an individual is ready to operate independently, they leave to establish their own practice, often seeking small rural communities that lack a Greenwarden's presence.</p>

<p><s>Just like the Heartmender herself, the Greenwardens are very involved when it comes to nature and agriculture in Marcandria. Many Greenwardens have extensive knowledge in the field of agriculture, both from knowledge passed down by their mentor and through experience by helping out farmers. When farmers are having issues with their crops or livestock, they generally turn to the Greenwardens for help. Issues could include their fields being full of parasites, or their crops or farm animals having contracted some kind of sickness. A Greenwarden will pull from their knowledge and experience, look for signs from the Heartmender in the crops and animals, and pray to the Heartmender for guidance in order to come up with the best possible solution for dealing with the issue. Greenwardens often assist farmers in implementing preventative measures to prevent issues with crops, such as guidance on crop rotations, fallowing, or companion planting crops with natural pest-repellents such as garlic or marigolds. Greenwardens also often end up doing counseling for other citizens, typically from the lower castes of society, who come to them seeking a wise ear. While people may come with them looking for advice on topics that are outside the Greenwarden's area of expertise, a Greenwarden will typically use their wordly knowledge to come up with as best advice as they can. Greenwardens can thus end up as a sort of wise-man or woman for small rural communities.</s></p> <p><s>Just like the Heartmender herself, the Greenwardens are very involved when it comes to nature and agriculture in Marcandria.

<p><s>Greenwardens care deeply about the wellbeing of nature, as they see it as the Heartemender's gift. They therefore oppose actions that they deem harmful or unnecessarily harsh on the land. Farming practices where its attempted to exploit the land to the point of turning it barren, or excessive logging without reforesting. They will actively seek to lobby against such actions by convincing those with whom they have influence to oppose it with them. Those operating such endeavors can find the Greenwardens unrelenting nagging and complaining exceptionally annoying.

<p>The Greenwardens will take note of any individuals they encounter that show potential and the right mindset for becoming a Greenwarden, and will invite them to become an apprentice under their tutelage. The Greenwarden will teach the apprentice about the Heartmender, the different rituals and ceremonies the Greenwardens conduct, how to look for and discern Her guidance in the plants around one, and how to cultivate different medicinal plants, and the processes they go through to turn raw materials into medicinal remedies. An apprentice will typically stay with the mentoring Greenwarden for a while after they've learnt everything, operating the garden together with them, conducting rituals and ceremonies together with them, and working together on experiments for new and improved remedies.
