Curator

The Curators are a small group of deeply spiritual druids, who live and work in the Brightwood - the vast and mystical forest that covers the majority of Abrisia. Curators are divided into three different Domains, each with their own duties to fulfill as members:

The Herbalist Domain. These Curators care for the various herbs and smaller plants that grow in the vast Glass Gardens. They are experts at the various applications of these herbs, whether for medicine, poisons or brewing potions.

The Shepherd Domain. These Curators care for and raise the various animals that are kept within the bounds of the Wildwood Grounds. They are experts at reading the body languages of animals and have an innate sense of love and empathy towards animals, making even the most stressed and fearful of fauna feel safe around them. Many of these Curators choose to spend more time in their Wild Shape forms than others, often feeling more comfortable as an animal than as a person.

The Arborist Domain. These Curators care for the larger plants that grow in the Glass Gardens, from trees to shrubs. They are also the ones responsible for putting food on the tables of the Curators, by taking care of their vegetable fields and fruit groves.

Suggested Characteristics

The isolated and spiritual lifestyle of a Curator makes fitting in difficult for one that has left the Brightwood, and their rather colorful reputation combined with their strange mannerisms is sure to bring a lot of attention from others - whether curious or dubious in nature.
