The Heartwood Kin is 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.

Founding

The organisation was originally founded in 678 AF. With the presence of Ventos Allegos being too much for the forest and Eleusis, the trees and woods began to become distorted. Awoken from her slumber by the arrival of the Ventos Allegos, Lady Artemis along with Lady Gaia combined their powers to rejuvenate the forest, and removed the Ventos Allegos. With the surge of Natural energy, the trees and plants began to heal along with the trees of the three Great Forestal Houses, of which they then became no more. Of which the village of Eleusis and the two Patrons created the houses the Heartwood Kin and the Scions of the Ithmia. The House was founded by Aelyn Le'Yuet, Grondson Rousseau, Mina Celes'Ciel, Oceana Dawyn, and Yerf Langshanks.
