The Heartwood Kin was a House within the village of Eleusis. Like their forestal brethren, the Scions of the Ithmia, the Heartwood makes Nature their priority in all things, and dedicate themselves to the protection and preservation of such, knowing that it is Nature which sustains and succors all through their lives.
Steadfast and dedicated to Nature, the Heartwood Kin strive to nurture and nourish the natural world. They seek to discover Nature's mysteries through careful observation and action, thus furthering mortalkind's ability to live in harmony with the ever-changing seasons. And, like the roots of a mighty oak, growing deep and strong to support the tree's many branches, so do the Heartwood Kin desire to strengthen the foundations of Eleusis with wisdom and understanding.
Possessing an unequivocal bond with Nature, it is the Heartwood Kin who hold dear the traditions of old, tending to the very roots of all that Nature is, was, and has the potential to become. It is they who devote their lives to its conservation, ensuring the continuation of the highest blessing: Nature's bounty. Those who dare threaten their charge face the wrath of the whole, as they drive defilers into an unforgiving, earthen tomb.
