Welcome to Gaia! ::

The herd's home ranges from the lower Hot Springs, where they have their tea brewing centered, down onto the river plain that runs off the mountain, and a range of the forest surrounding the river. The range of this herd is large, because of the needs of the herd. With no hands to make fire, boiling water is a problem. They settled this issue by using the Hot Springs for their tea making. Around the Hot Springs, they have places set up for the serving of tea, and drinking it. The springs they favor are in natural mini-valleys in the mountains, creating a natural tea garden.
Thanks to the river that runs through the lands, it is very fertile, making this a near perfect home for their tea growing operations. The lower mountains are also used to grow their tea bushes, as the river making its way down creates excellent conditions for the bushes. The river plain provides room for them to farm the herbs that grow best under cultivation. Moving out from the plains, into the woods that also are encompassed in the range of their herd, foragers seek the best of the wild herbs, both to bring back for cultivation, and for use. Not all herbs do well cultivated, after all, so they needed these forests to make sure they never over-harvest one region. And of course, there's nothing like a hot cup of home brewed Raspberry tea from the forest's berries.

The Ashen Guard: Few in number, these members hold a main job usually separate from guard duties. Each a speciality that makes them deadly. Their identities are known only to Jase and they are only called to duty if there is a problem that needs to be dealt with quickly and quietly. The existence of this group is treated as a tall tale by members of the oaken guard, and would be unheard of by regular members of the herd.
