__________
setting:
[ In-depth info. ] The country of Efith, divided into five states, the East State (wind), the South State (fire), the West State (earth), the North State (water) and the Capital State (the Mysteries). Efith is reigned by the Sacred Council that stays at the temple in the Capital State where they guard the mysteries of the elements and in communication with the leads of the four other temples as well as the non-magic senate make decisions for the whole land. In constant war with Reece, south of their borders.
history:
Marcappho was born the oldest son of a community of farmers living polyamorously, as such he never learned who had actually fathered him, but considered all four men in the small family unit his fathers. Likewise, although it was the young Agrina who had birthed him, he called the remaining four women 'mother', too. He was a happy child who assisted his fathers in growing the crop and helping with the harvest, something he seemed to have a natural gift for. The community of two large farm houses prospered while he was a young boy, the crop seeming always plenty and the harvests never ruined by bad weather or other natural catastrophes. This proved to be because Marcappho had the gift of growing plants. He could nurture the core of plants already sprouted as well as enhancing the potential for growth in plants that were still in seed. Once his parents realised this, they spend a whole farming year discussing what to do with him - it was seen as their duty to deliver him to the nearest temple (in their case, the Earth Temple in Kandau), but some magically gifted individuals never made it to the temple institution for various reasons and it was said that this often brought about bad ends for them. So after much deliberation, Marcappho's birth mother brought him to Kandau herself on the back of their best donkey and turned him in to the earth priests in the temple there. Although Marcappho, at age six, considered his parents and younger siblings, his family, he felt immediately upon entering the Earth Temple that he had come home. These men (and few women) were like him. He was like them. This was where he belonged. And ever since, he has dedicated himself loyally to the temple institution, though more for the sake of that feeling than for the rules and regulations forming his life now. More to feel the connection to the plants and vegetation than to answer prayers, one of his primary functions at the temple.
