<p>Fiori embodies the essence of agriculture, empathy, perseverance, growth, healing, hope, and life in the hearts of the Marcandrians. Revering the fertile lands as her cherished gift to the people, she imparts the importance of nurturing and growth, both in the fields and within oneself. Her teachings advocate for continuous self-improvement, firmly believing that by persevering and never losing hope, one can reap abundant rewards and find fulfillment and prosperity. As the goddess of life, Fiori represents the cyclical nature of existence, where all aspects of life, even life itself, are part of an endless cycle of growing and reaping. Hence, she is also regarded as the deity most closely associated with the notion of death. With her watchful eye over the great cycle of life, she oversees the growth of individuals from birth to the end of their days, tenderly caring for them as life's journey concludes.</p>
<p>Fiori's divine wisdom emphasizes the art of nurturing others, spreading hope and prosperity throughout society. Her teachings inspire people to embrace kindness and empathy, understanding that nurturing others brings fulfillment and contentment to one's own life. During times of illness, the Marcandrians turn to Fiori, seeking solace in her embodiment of good health and the source of healing.</p>
<p>Fiori holds nature and its beauty in utmost reverence, abhorring violence and destruction. She passionately urges her followers to protect and nurture all forms of life, fostering growth and facilitating new beginnings. To cause harm without seeking healing and renewal, akin to felling trees without sowing new seeds, is seen as anathema to her divine principles, evoking her fury.</p>
<p>Her teachings profoundly resonate with the lower castes of Marcandrian society, especially those who toil on the land, depending on its bounties for survival. For these individuals, Fiori's focus on health and hope brings comfort and inspiration. However, among the upper echelons, her significance sometimes takes a backseat to the allure of luxurious lifestyles advocated by Callera and Meranzi. Despite this, some derogatorily label her as the "peasant goddess," a rare display of disrespect, as the Marcandrians consider insulting any of their three goddesses an affront to all three.</p>
<p>Worship of Fiori is deeply personal and individualistic, reflecting a lack of central authority. Throughout Marcandria, the Greenwardens serve as her primary representatives—a multitude of independent yet kindred temples and groups that grace the landscape of the Marcandrian lands and cities.</p>

They embrace the selflessness that she preaches, an aspect of her that often takes a backseat in Marcandria's highly competitive culture.</p>

<h3><strong>Visual Description</strong></h3>
<p>Fiori is portrayed as a woman slightly below middle-aged, with sun-tanned skin radiating warmth and vitality. Often likened to "a rose in full bloom," she exudes strength and femininity in equal measure. With a lean and toned figure reminiscent of a farmer's robustness, she carries herself gracefully. Her long, lustrous white hair is adorned with several delicate braids interwoven with wildflowers and ivy, adding to her natural allure. She adorns herself in simple yet elegant dresses adorned with embroidery and patterns of buds and blossoms. Rather than engaging in direct communication, Fiori communicates through subtle signs scattered amidst fields and flowers, decipherable only through attentive observation.</p>
