👩‍🌾 Key NPC

Faela Mossheart - High Druid

• Appearance: Wears layers of living moss, bark-woven robes, and carries a staff sprouting blossoms. Her hair is vine-wrapped and flowers bloom in her footsteps.
• Personality: Calm, maternal, but not passive. Sees potential in all things — including the party.
• Role: Guide to the Spring Temple; speaks in gentle riddles and seasonal metaphors. May be the only one who can truly commune with the temple’s ancient spirit.
