Lore:Greenspeakers

Tree-Pods created by Greenspeakers

The Greenspeaker, Nethrin

TheGreenspeakers(also known asGreenshapers,Green-Singers,Home Singers,Pod-Singers,andTree Shapers)areBosmeripractitioners ofnature magicwho work in tandem with theGreen Pactto shape the environment into settlements such as villages and even cities. They enhance the growth ofGraht-oaktrees and branches to form furniture,weapons,and even housing called Pod-Homes.They also craft it into bridges and platforms,as well as gatesand large temples.They also create items of everyday use with the usage of the magic, such as flatware.

As they shape the trees into homes, the wood leaves behind wilted and useless samples ofheartwood,which are then re-purposed into decorations by the locals.

Some of the mages employed by theVinedusk Rangersare also accomplished greenspeakers. They are frequently used whenever the Graht-oak ofVinedusk Villageis destroyed and they need to move their location. They plant the seeds and the growing process takes a few days until it is completely built.

The Falinesti were considered the greatest greenspeakers in history and their end goal was to create the perfect fusion of city and forest, which led to the creation of modern-dayFalinesti,the capital of Valenwood.

Phrastus of Elinhirclaims that the Greenshapers andSpinnersare not mutually exclusive but if one wanted to become a Greenshaper, they do not need to become a Priest ofY'ffrelike a spinner.
