= Nature's Prophet = From the vast remains of Verodicia, the Nature's Prophet sprouts into full leaf, rolling the great wheel of life once more. With the foresight to watch over the creations of his goddess and the power to protect it in times of need, the favored son of Verodicia preserves his life and all of her creations to never squander the fated yet selfless sacrifice that his goddess underwent with great sorrow.

Biography
Nature's Prophet is entrusted with the burden of keeping the woods safe. With his foresight, he can always know where he is needed and respond to the wild places and their inhabitants.

Birth
The being we know as Nature's Prophet came to be from the remains of his progenitor deity Verodicia, the Goddess of the Woods. Long ago, Verodicia toiled to prepare a nurturing environment for her living things to grow in. She planted the burgeoning spirit in the seed, lured the groundwaters deep within the aquifers, and made the sun swear its full attention to her children. But she soon realized that she will soon die without seeing her children grow. On one of the leaves inside the seed that she had planted, she saw the unswayable fate of her fall imprinted within it. Although it pained her that she would leave her seeds vulnerable, she was determined to do something about it even if she couldn't defy her destined demise.

Verodicia found one last seed in her seed pouch and spoke a single word into the seed, swallowing it as she fell. Her vast body decomposed throughout the winter season, becoming the humus that would feed her seedlings in the spring. On the morning of the vernal equinox that marked the beginning of the spring season, the last seed ripened and burst in an instant before the other seedlings could even grow. From the last seed sprouted Nature's Prophet, who inherited Verodicia's power to foresee the forest's future in the leaves of destiny, staying vigil over the green places where danger or great need may beckon the aid of the goddess' sole descendant.

Battles
The riverlands hero Castor Twin-Tusks once challenged the Nature's Prophet to an arcane duel. The prophet won the duel and now wears Castor's upper jaw on his shoulder.

The Oakfall Horn was used to summon the Nature's Prophet to Virga Truebark's side, who defied the Iron Princeling. Together, they fought their enemy side by side.

Personality and Mannerisms

 * The Prophet's disposition is like that of nature. In equal parts, nature is both caring and unforgiving. At times, the Prophet may be peaceful and gentle,  but those who fail to see the other side of nature will learn that he is no stranger to violence. Embodying the violent half of nature, he is ferocious, savage, and punishing if he needs to be.

Family
Born from the final breath of his goddess Verodicia, the Prophet is said to be her favored son. The Prophet honors his goddess and tends to all of her creations.

Allies
is related to the Prophet, who seems to share an unnamed goddess with his lore. Kaolin's goddess may possibly be Verodicia with the following speculations.
 * When meeting the Prophet, Kaolin will claim that they are both of like spirits. Kaolin will also say that the Prophet must revere him, which hints that Kaolin has authority over the Prophet.
 * Just like the Prophet, Kaolin is dedicated to a goddess who is said to tend to all life.

Enemies
Nature's Prophet bears a great hatred and rivalry towards the Society of Likeminded Keenfolk, especially and. He believes that they are a scourge on nature with their inventions that pollute and quell the forest and its inhabitants.

He rejects the presence of and his plague wards in the forest.

Physiology
Born from a special seed that was blessed by Verodicia's last breath, Nature's Prophet is made out of plant matter.

He possesses the ability to shapeshift his physical form, taking on the aspects of a tree, a predator, or prey.

Foresight
He got his name from the foresight that he inherited from his goddess Verodicia, whose seeds contained a coiled-up spiritual plant with leaves that are imprinted with the fate and destiny of those who read it. These are the same leaves that portended Verodicia's demise. Nature's Prophet can read the future through these leaves within the seed that birthed him, and the many branches of this plant may signify the many futures that he can see.

Equipment
Nature's Prophet possesses a copy of the Orchid Malevolence and the Scythe of Vyse.

Before the Prophet's seed was made to sprout, Verodicia imbued a sapphire gem with a spark of her essence. This gem was a fail-safe left in the wastes of a war-torn land to restore life and restart its cycle in places that lack it.

The Prophet wears a set of natural garments made of fungi and moss infused with the essence of the Father Mushroom.

Powers
All of the Prophet's powers come from the blessing of his goddess Verodicia. With his power, he can bend nature to his will even if they are harmful or aligned against nature, such as the parasitic Cordyceps and corrupting Sufferwood. Rather than using mana or blood magic, the Prophet relies on the wrathsome will of his goddess to use his powers, tapping directly into it to work his arts.

allows the Prophet to grow a ring of trees to fence in his opponents. In its lore, reports of the Nature's Prophet's fury state that he frequently uses this against his attackers.

does not have much lore to it, so it can simply be assumed that it is nothing but a teleportation ability.

is but one of the many abilities bestowed upon him by the woods-goddess. With this boon, he has the ability to summon the Treant Guard, a mythical sentient army in service to the greenery of Verodicia. In gameplay and lore, he can summon them using the trees as a catalyst, but it' unknown if he can also summon them without using preexisting plant life. Calling upon Verodicia's fury, Nature's Prophet summons the to strike down all who wish to threaten and destroy the green places with its powerful, far-reaching energies.
 * It is said that not only can he summon them, but he even bends them to his will to place them under his complete control.
 * The Prophet can construct a fungal familiar named Shroom Thing, made from fungus and moss and infused with the Father Mushroom's essence.
 * He can also summon the Shroomlings to his side. A sentient, walking fungi who hail from the Drowned Forest, they are fearless and are fond of dark and damp places.

Biography
Sven is the bastard son of a Vigil Knight, born from the flesh of a Pallid Meranth, raised in the Shadeshore Ruins. With his father executed for violating the Vigil Codex, and his mother ostracized by the Mer, Sven firmly believes that honor is not to be found in any society, but only in himself. After tending his mother through a lingering death, Sven swore vengeance against the Vigil Knights, recruiting himself into their ranks as a novice while never revealing his identity.

For thirteen years he studied in his father's school, mastering the rigid code that declared his existence an abomination. Then, on the day that should have been his In-Swearing, he seized the Outcast Blade, shattered the Sacred Helm, and burned the Codex in the Vigil's Holy Flame. He strode from Vigil Keep, forever solitary, following his private code to the last strict rune. Still a knight, yes...but a Rogue Knight. He answers only to himself.

Artifact
In this strange timeline, the story of Sven has reached the point where he has infiltrated the ranks of the Vigil Knights, but their destruction from within is a future that cannot be avoided, at least to the will of the Rogue Knight. To assure that this possibility comes to fruition, Sven must train among his enemies, rise above their ranks, and ultimately: destroy them from within.

Although he has not enacted his rogue code yet, he manifests a bit of the code in his actions by aligning against any kind of army like any true rogue to society would. He has declared war against the Radiant and the Dire, Venomancer and his expanding garden of s, the Bronze Legion, the reformed Red Mist Horde, and even the Vhoul rebellion.

Equipment
Sven's equipment mostly consists of the Vigil Knight's arsenal, possibly stolen from them as retribution or mockery. The most notable apparatus taken from the Knights is the Outcast Blade, which he stole on the day that should've been his In-Swearing. The Vigil Knights still seek to retrieve the Outcast Blade from Sven, who has now claimed it for himself. He also stole an iron gauntlet from his father's school and wears it now on his left hand.

There is also the shield-crest of the Vigil Knights, also worn on his left hand. The shield has extendable "wings" that likely increases its protective area. It is said to be so durable that it still appears to be in pristine condition even after being used in battles in a dozen wars.

Fitting for a brute of his size and from his training with the Vigil Knights, he prefers large two-handed blades with heavy tips and unorthodox shapes with some of them being very dangerous to the wielder and the target. Sven has collected a variety of swords in his lifetime (besides the ones that are stolen from the Vigil Knights) although it's possible that he only acquires them in a separate timeline. Only a few of them are notable enough to be listed below: None of these blades are as prized as the relic that he found in the debris of a sunken galley that once sailed under the Vigil Knights banner. The sword was worthy enough for Sven to replace the Outcast Blade with it.
 * A greatsword whose blade is made of Radiant Ore. While extremely sharp, not many blades made from this ore can survive their first use.
 * An obsidian sword said to contain the fragmented souls of tormented gods.
 * A two pronged sword that doubles as a tuning fork. When struck against another blade, it will produce a different sound that depends on the blade that it has struck. Skilled users like Sven can tell what kind of blade they are facing with this.
 * An unorthodox blade whose edges converge into a ring rather than a tip. The ring symbolizes unending courage.

As for his armor, most of them are taken from the Vigil Knights, including the uniforms of the Chiseled Guard, the Mono Militis sect, and the Flameguard sect. The serrated shafts that are crafted along the protrusions of Sven's helmet are said to improve the wearer's hearing.

Much like the sets of armor that the Vigil Knights once wore, even his armor can be used as a weapon. He once impaled an attacking ogre in the Feral Road using the spikes resting on his shoulder guard, and a specific left-handed gauntlet in his possession was carefully designed to intercept an enemy swordsman's attack on his shoulder or to catch a blade mid-swing.

Powers
Sven's abilities are a mixture of his knightly skills and godly power. All of these abilities synergize with each other to destroy multiple opponents at once, fitting for his theme as a one man army in a planet full of foes.

Sven unleashes his father's magical gauntlet, launching the on his foes. He prefers using his gauntlet on enemies that attempt to escape him. A prophecy from Nerif states that his gauntlet is the hammer of the gods, implying that Sven has some form of connection with divinity.

The Outcast Blade's can cut through multiple opponents at once with a combination of its massive length and the shockwaves that it emits when swung.

In battle, Sven may hearten his allies with a by reciting a few poetic lines from the burned Vigil Codex, fortifying his obedience to his rogue code. Lorewise, it's unknown if it provides any other buffs outside of gameplay mechanics. He also doesn't seem to recite any lines when using this ability, but he roars loudly instead.

is the same strength that Sven used to shatter the Sacred Helm on the day of his In-Swearing. Card art for this ability in Artifact shows that Sven and his sword will grow in mass and size when this ability is activated, while also turning his padded armor red.

Description
Based on the lore of its sole inhabitant, it is located in the depths of nature itself, hence its name. This plane can be accessed by the haunted Chronoptic Crystals—other methods of reaching this plane are currently unknown. It is a real reflection of the natural world that embodies its true decayed form, composed of elements that have been impurified by debasement and destruction. These elements are called the Impurities.

This nature is said to be lurid in color, which is possibly reflected in Leshrac's appearance.

Notable Inhabitants
