==Recap==
===Laylines and Cardinals===
Riven Thornleaf, a half-elven gardener in Aknara Village in Ferrodia. They are the Curator of the Commons in Aknara. Riven is also one of the twelve Wardens of Aknara. They inherited the Warden position from their half-elf third cousin, Ashen.
Riven is on the usual warden duties to inspect the island. 10 years, ago a mudslide revealed a standard fortification of the non-floating variety.
During one patrol of the island, Riven comes across a plant that is out of place. A red cardinal flower, a plant that needs to exist near rivers, not here on the hard and sandy part of the island. Riven inspects the plant and doesn't find anything unusual about it other than it's location. Riven plants another of the same flower nearby to see if it also will survive.
A month later on another patrol, Riven finds that both plants are doing quite well, despite the conditions. Riven takes drawings of the plants with charcoal. After the patrol they goes to their mother and explains the plant to her. Ellis Thornleaf, is a full elf horticulturalist. Ellis thinks the plants survival is due to the lay lines. As Riven isn't able to sense laylines.
The next day Riven and their mother Ellis takes a hike to see the mystery red cardinal flowers. As they work Ellis talks more on the lay lines, attributing the lake in the middle of Ferrodia to the lay lines, as it has 4 rivers flowing out of it but no apparent tributaries.
They arrive at the flowers. Ellis inspects the flowers and says it is unusual for them to be growing here. Ellis and Riven take cuttings of the plants, as well as others to be used as a control, to see if they thrive in dry conditions back at their home.
After some time the cuttings wither under the dry conditions at their home. This confirms the idea it is the position of the flowers and not the flowers themselves. Riven tries to save the plants by returning them to the magic spot, but only the cutting from the original plant survives.
Two week later at the regular monthly meeting Riven brings up the flowers to the overseer.
