Roselle

A race of people with pink hair who are treated as sinners by the Holy State of Hyzante

## Saltiron War

At one point during the war, the hierophant succumbs to illness, and the Saintly Seven bicker over who would succeed the hierophant. Orlaea, a Rosellan, uses this chaos to encourage her fellow Roselle at the Source to rebel and flee Hyzante. Saint Archibald Genoe assists the Roselle in their escape, and is promptly dismissed from the Saintly Seven.

## Rosellan Village

A village in the Wolffort Demense, housing the Roselle ever since the Saltiron war, under the protection of Symon Wolffort

## The Source

The remaining group of Roselle who are not in the village are present here. Here, they are made to labor in order to harvest salt. They are given very little food and water and are killed if they can no longer labor or are underperforming.

## Orlaea's Diary

"This is a legend handed down by the Roselle since times of old. It is the secret history of Norzelia. I Orlaea Roselle, am recording the legend here as the last keeper of these histories...

* In ancient times, the Roselle lived in Centralia, a land to the distant south of Norzelia. It sat on the shore of the "sea," a Source that extended to the horizon and beyond. It was said to be a paradise, a place where people never wanted for salt. The Roselle knew more about salt than anyone for it was a part of their everyday lives.
* In those days, Norzelia still rested at the bottom of the sea. But a cataclysm brought it to the surface, turning it into land. The sea dried up, and the small portion that remained is what we know today as the Source.
* Eventually, many people migrated to the new land of Norzelia. They waged war over the Source, wishing to get their hands on its precious salt. Our ancestors came to Norzelia in hopes of putting an end to the fighting.
* They knew that the salt still remained, even without the sea. It merely crystalized and sank deep into the earth... After all their searching, they unearthed a giant crystal...No, a very pillar of salt. They showed it to the people of Norzelia, told them that salt could be found beneath their very feet.
* However, those who had seized control over the Source sought to reign over all of Norzelia by controlling the salt. They, the Holy State of Hyzante, attacked and slaughtered the Roselle.
* They hid the pillar, erased the existence of salt crystals, and imprisoned the surviving Roselle at the Source. Thus we were branded sinners, criminals who wanted sole dominion over the land's salt. To justify their own monopoly, Hyzante created the Goddess's Teachings, but she needed a villain.
* To this very day, the Roselle are scorned, made to shed blood and tears, all in Her name...But the Goddess Herself is proof of the Rosellan legends.
* I saw it with my own eyes during the uprising. Inside of Her statue is the pillar of salt that was taken from our ancestors. But I could not expose the truth of the Goddess. It took everything I had just to get a fragment...
* But that piece is the key to freeing the Roselle. It must be. For my brethren who continue to suffer for a crime they did not commit..."
