Lodge Everbloom

**Lodge Everbloom** is one of the five Lodges of the Snowrose Academy and other academies in Gwynlynd. It represents the fifth and last stage of grief Victoire Wilona went through while mourning Reverie Beausomnia and was heavily influenced by Altheda Revelian.

## Motto

Lodge Everbloom's motto is **"Nature does nothing in vain"**, and is very on-brand with their love and great respect for nature. The motto refers to the fact that every small detail about every living being and part of nature has a reason and is important, even if you may not know what that reason is.

## History

The fifth and last stage of grief that Queen Victoire went through, was **Acceptance**. This is when she fully accepted that Reverie wouldn't wake up again and that no matter what she did, she would be unable to save her. To honor her, Victoire learned about the language of flowers so that she would be able to hold a beautiful memorial for her and she learned about different herbs and plants so that she could help keep her body healthy until she would finally wake up again.
