Affiliations

Kingdom of the Pyreen (former princess)

Flora is the matron and, some would argue, cult leader of the Eco-Dome, a settlement protected by a magical field that allows the interior to flourish with lush vegetation and abundant life, creating a stark contrast to the harsh environment outside. Within the dome, her fervent followers eat, drink, and "make merry" to seeming excess, enjoying the fruits of her magic, and of their own vital energy generated through their convivial nature. While her healing arts are near divine, those whose time has come volunteer to return to the earth in a beautiful, joyous ceremony celebrating the ever-renewing circle of life. With each such passing, the dome grows ever so slightly, and given nearly two thousand years, it has become a city-state unto itself.

Flora considers herself the "mother" of everyone in the dome, but also takes copious amounts of lovers, claiming that rather than become pregnant, her fertility bolsters all life within the dome, enhancing the vitality and growth of the plants and creatures within. In fact, she chooses not to become pregnant, as she nurtures terrible emotional scars from the loss of her many children centuries ago, and to some extent, her nurturing of life within the dome is a vain effort to fill that void.

Ancestry

Flora is a Pyreen, born to Amaranth and his wife Fiora.

Abilities

Flora is gregarious, vivacious, and incredibly persuasive. When she wants to seduce someone, they are seduced. When she wants to be loved, she is loved. In almost all cases, she commands undying love and loyalty from all those who she wishes, which is most everyone. But in the rare event she needs to do battle, she is quite prepared.

Her power over Life is broad, deep, and absolute. All living things obey her call. She can sprout plants from the ground at will, command the loyalty of beasts, or simply modify the bodies of any who would oppose her. While she has no power to kill directly, enemies find it difficult to do her harm while their body is rapidly sprouting growths of every kingdom, family, and genus in the biological domain.

From any living thing that has not entirely succumbed to death, she can coax robust vitality. Withered crops flourish and fruit almost immediately. Saplings become mighty trees in mere moments. A litter of pups becomes a pack of wolves at her mere command. Her power has been practiced and honed arguably the most of all Pyreen who yet live, and has grown perforce. Even in a world less defiled and drained, her power would be compared to godhood, and in Athas, she is a force without equal.
