Part 1

Meet the Swamp and those that live there. Helpful links at the end.

The Swamp

Many years ago, the Swamp was a peaceful place; the ecosystem lush and the people and beings that resided there lived in harmony. The communities that resided in the Swamp knew the land like the back of their hand, working with the Swamp's ebb and flow to live their lives happily and safely. To outsiders, life in the Swamp seemed hard, but to anyone familiar with it, it was serene and worth any hardship they had to endure.

The Swamp waters swished with the whispers of those that once lived there and the twigs crunched under feet that were not quite man or beast. The Swamp watched over all that lived there, keeping the balance and protecting those that protected it.

The lush Swamp flora and fauna naturally drew the attention of many and, eventually, with those curious wanderers came a corruption that changed the tides and silenced the Swamp.

Few families that are in tune with the Swamp still remain and it is up to them to learn what ails the Swamp and cure it of its affliction.

Nyssa Gardenii

Nyssa Gardenii is the daughter of Clyde and Mirtha Gardenii, who come from families that have lived in the Swamp for as long as anyone can remember. Like many of the other families around, the Swamp is part of who they are, integrated into their very way of life. Unfortunately, Nyssa is the only one of her family to remain in the Swamp and she must learn to navigate the ever-changing landscape and spiritual weave with a few notes from her missing mother and the help of her wary neighbors.

Nyssa, much like her mother, is particularly good at dealing with plants of any kind, both earthly and immaterial. She has a near photographic memory of the earthly kind and is learning those of the spirits with the notes her mother left behind. Once attuned to a plant, she can sense what it needs and in the event she cannot provide that, she can either use her own energy to coax it back to life or sacrifice what remains for the good of the Swamp.
