Long ago, when the Orakhee fell upon the Brethren Empire, the Gnimshka listened to the earth and it protected them. Today the great Glyptographers of the Gnimhomes teach their disciples how to inscribe the rocks of the world, releasing the Lustre within them in an art they call Petromagika. From the revered Gardeners of Achea, to the humble village Broth Apothecarys of the Painted Forest, almost every culture on Mor Nadar knows that foraging for plants, and scavenging some of the remains of animals, can yield treasure when combined with the skilled use of pestle and mortar.
