<p>The Greenwardens are renowned within Marcandrian society primarily for their roles as healers and doctors. Those with divine gifts use their abilities to heal and cure, supplemented by medicinal ointments and remedies derived from the extensive variety of plants cultivated in their temple gardens. These gardens, vital to their practice, allow Greenwardens to create complex medicinal compounds through detailed alchemical processes. Adhering strictly to their principles, Greenwardens provide these essential medicines free of charge, maintaining that access to healthcare should never depend on financial means. Any Greenwarden found demanding payment for such services faces ostracization, underscoring their commitment to egalitarian care.</p>
<p>However, producing these medicines involves a constant juggle of resources, especially when complex treatments are necessary. Such decisions often mean prioritizing which patients receive immediate care based on the available remedies, a reality that sometimes limits their ability to help everyone equally.</p>
<p>Beyond their healing services, Greenwardens also develop non-essential remedies like skin treatments, vitality tonics, sleep aids, and pain relievers. These products, while not crucial for survival, are sold to fund the broader scope of their mission, covering expenses for necessary items they cannot produce themselves, such as beeswax, animal fats, and various salts, as well as for their basic living costs. Balancing the production of these goods with essential medicines presents a moral challenge, as commercial success can tempt them away from their foundational commitment to provide free medicinal care.</p>
<p>The Greenwardens' expertise is not limited to healthcare. They are deeply involved in agriculture and environmental stewardship, providing invaluable guidance to local farmers on sustainable practices and crop management. This includes advising on crop rotations, using natural pest repellents, and dealing with agricultural diseases. Their holistic approach extends to environmental advocacy, where they oppose exploitative practices and work towards the restoration of natural habitats.</p>
<p>In terms of community engagement, Greenwardens are pivotal in conducting ceremonies such as weddings and funerals, particularly for those who cannot afford the more elaborate services provided by other clergies. These occasions are marked by simplicity and a deep connection to nature, reflecting the Greenwardens' fundamental values.</p>
<p>Substantial time is also devoted to spiritual practices. Greenwardens frequently engage in meditation and prayer within their gardens or amidst nature, seeking signs from the Heartmender through the responses of plants to their spiritual practices. This intimate communion with nature is central to their belief system.</p>
<p>Additionally, the ritual of planting seeds alongside those seeking guidance is a significant aspect of their spiritual methodology. This practice, which involves interpreting the growth patterns of various seeds to discern divine messages, underscores the values of patience and reflection that the Heartmender espouses.</p>
<p>As for recruitment, Greenwardens are always on the lookout for potential apprentices. They invite individuals who demonstrate a promising affinity for their way of life to join them, teaching them everything from botanical knowledge to spiritual rituals. After their formal training, apprentices often stay to assist their mentors before setting out to establish their own practices, typically in underserved areas.</p>
<p>This comprehensive approach to their operations ensures that the Greenwardens not only provide critical services but also foster a deep, enduring impact on Marcandrian society, guided by the principles of growth, healing, and stewardship imparted by the Heartmender.</p>

<p><s>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.</s></p> <p><s>The most noticeable, and perhaps most impactful, of the Greenwardens' endeavors is their role as healers and doctors within Marcandrian society.

<p><s>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.</s></p> <p><s>Greenwardens will also cultivate plants which they use to make non-essential remedies, such as skin treatments, vitality tonics, sleep aids, and pain relievers.

<p><s>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.
