Vitesh

### The Verdant

According to the Origin Myth of the Viteshan Domain, the island-state at some point in it's ancient past had been granted special favour over the rest of the world by the forces of nature itself. It is said that the manifestation of the Wonder of the World known as the Sanctuary of Vitesh within Viteshan borders is a sign to all who gaze upon it that the Viteshan Domain is the chosen land of the strongest of the Archfey that have, currently does, and will ever exist in the **Queen of the Fey** *Titania*, known to the Viteshan people as *Tiandra, the Queen of Light and Mother Nature.* As the **Domain** of the single most powerful faction of Fey, and the chosen people of the one who presides over the Court of Stars, the Viteshan Domain knows no winter, remaining evergreen, a manifestation of the Archfey's "omnipotence".

Stemming from this favour is what is considered by the Viteshan people to be their national boon; affecting every aspect and every entity of the Domain, including it's human inhabitants; known simply as **The Verdant.** The Verdant's nature is unknown, as documented evidence to support the Viteshan Origin Myth is extremely hard to come by and exceptionally vague; however, this does not stop it from intriguing researchers, botanists and alcehmists from around the world.

Explicitly, the Verdant is the unique, Viteshan-specific quasi-supernatural phenomenon that seemingly enables the Kingdom to serve as a home for an innumerable number of plant species of exotic properties, as well as allow any plant or plant-based organism to thrive within it's presence even if normally the climate of the Kingdom would be considered inhospitable for said plant; seemingly defying all logic that would have been developed over study of botany and agriculture.

#### Economic Importance

The Verdant is the unique phenomeon that allowed the Viteshan Domain to rise

    to such a level of agricultural productivity that they became renowned as one ot the premiere bread baskets of the Valiant Sphere; capable of producing in abundance and high-yield vast amounts of a variety of different forms of food crops, and thus capable of then providing for larger and more varied livestock at any one time than most.

The soil of Vitesh was considered to have unique restorative properties on any plant resting on it; seemingly restoring withered flowers back to the peak of health incredibly quickly; and as such a method of utilizing the properties of Viteshan soil to imrpove food production around the world was and is sought after, though unfortunately these efforts have not proven successful. Interestingly, these properties appear to be carried over outside of the borders of Vitesh if the person putting said plant into soil from the Domain claims the Domain as their birthplace *and*homeland.

#### Uniqueness

The Viteshan people were renowned for blending their unique flora into every part of their daily lives in unique and creative ways, making life easier and seemingly functioning alongside the technology used by the wider world to create unique solutions to problems in every day life one would not have usually encountered. For example in the past before the widespread usage of lanterns, the Viteshan people would keep bioluminescent flowers in pots around their houses that appeared to glow brighter in intensity the darker the surrounding area became, known as the
