<h2>Operations and Endeavors</h2>
<p><strong>(Grow medicinal herbs in their large gardens, which they make into medicine and ointments that they give free of charge)</strong> The most noticeable, and perhaps most impactful, of the Greenwardens' endeavors is their role as healers and doctors within Marcandrian society. Those with divine gifts will utilize their magic to heal and cure. Though, even for those with divine gifts, most healing and curing services they provide is done with the help of medicinal ointments and remedies, which they make utilizing the plants they grow in their temple gardens. These gardens thus tend to be rather extensive, with a myriad of different plant species whose leaves, petals, stems, or roots they run through various alchemical processes to turn into medicinal compounds. Such essential medicines are by the Greenwardens' creed to be given for free to all who are in need of them. A Greenwarden who is found to have denied giving medicinal treatment on the grounds of demanding payment will find themselves shunned forevermore by their peers, and most probably also by Marcandrian society at large. Creating these medicines are nonetheless a careful balance between what types of medicines they have at hand. A serious illness might require complicated remedies that are very expensive and time consuming to make, &nbsp;putting the Greenwarden in a position where, if they make such remedies for those who need something that potent, then they may have to turn away a larger number of those who could be cured with simpler remedies, simply due to not having the capacity to make both. It is thus not impossible for someone to come to a Greenwarden with an ailment which they theoretically could help with, but where they simply do not have the capacity to make it for you due to other demands.</p>
<p><strong>(Make remedies that are non-essential that they sell to earn fund themselves. Includes cosmetic creams, vitality remedies, etc) </strong>Greenwardens will also cultivate plants which they use to make non-essential remedies, such as skin treatments, vitality tonics, sleep aids, and pain relievers. Greenwardens develop and sell these as a way to fund their endeavors, to pay for tools and compounds which they can't grow in their gardens, such as beeswax, animal fats, alchocols, salts, and clay, as well as to fund their own basic necessities, such as food and clothes. The making of these non-essential, paid for, remedies always cuts into a Greewardens capacity to make their free medicinal remedies, though without these funds they'd be unable to operate at all. It can often be difficult for a Greenwarden to know just how to balance the cultivation and development of paid for non-essential remedies versus free medicinal ones. This is also because it can be hard not to rake in just a little more funds than they'd technically need, allowing them to afford some not strictly necessary luxuries. Despite the Greenwardens typically saying they want a simpler life than what typical Marcandrians are after, they are still Marcandrians, and can find it hard to say no when presented with the opportunity of attaining some luxuries.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Greenwardens tend to conduct continuous study and research potential new in the fields of herbalism and medicine, in order to either come up with new or improve existing remedies. This includes studying texts they come across on the subject matter, often gotten from the Meranzeum's archives, learning from another Greenwarden, or through experimenting with new plants, tweaking alchemical processes, or by tweaking or testing out new compounds.</p>
<p>(Help farmers with planning crop cycles etc. Tries to commune with Fiori through rituals and observing the lands, and through prayers in their gardens – looking for signs on what the right course of action is) 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.</p>
<p>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. Still, a person would have to go rather far with their overexploitation of nature before the Greenwardens would attempt to intervene forcefully.</p>

<li>The Greenkeepers also have an important role when it comes to both Marcandria's agriculture and nature, with many of their members having great knowledge in both of these fields. When farmers are having issues with their crops or livestock, they generally turn to the Greenwardens for help. This could be due to their fields being full of parasites, or their crops or farm animals having contracted some kind of sickness.</li>
<li>The Greenwardens are well known for opposing actions that unnecessarily harm the land, such as excessive logging or farming to the point where the land is unable to recover</li>

<li>Continuous Learning: A Greenwarden would likely engage in ongoing study and research to deepen their understanding of herbalism, medicine, and agricultural practices. This could include studying ancient texts, learning from other Greenwardens, or experimenting with new techniques in their gardens.</li>

<li>Spiritual Practices: Generally trying to get closer to Fiori's ideal. Regular meditation, prayer, and rituals in their gardens or in nature would be central to a Greenwarden’s life. These practices help them connect more deeply with Fiori and seek her guidance, fostering spiritual growth and insight.</li>
<li>Community Service: Actively helping others not only fulfills their creed but also provides them with opportunities to develop empathy, patience, and leadership skills. This might include organizing community health drives, educational workshops on sustainable farming practices, or simply being available to counsel and aid those in need.</li>
<li><strong>Environmental Stewardship:</strong> Taking actions to protect and enhance the local environment would be a priority. This could involve leading efforts to clean up local waterways, planting trees, or restoring natural habitats, reflecting their reverence for life and nature.</li>
