The Order of the Seed

The Order of the Seed
With much of the planets surface turned over purely to the production of cereal crops by the Agrians the majority of the continent was a desert of unharvested grasses. While out walking one day and unknown explorer encountered a grove of trees among some mountains. The massive natural growths fascinated him and he took to studying them.

Aware that according to some scripture his race were guardians tasked with healing the world he saw the reintroduction of these great trees as his purpose.

He founded a group of travelers with a common goal of reintroducing trees to the world. Most of the ground making up the vast planes had been carpeted with thick organic weave matting to hold the soil together, but as the unharvested crops had withered and died and the weather and erosion had worn away at the matting it wouldn't have been long before the planes became a giant dust-bowl.

Thanks to their work over the past two hundred years forests have started to reappear and spread. The artificial forests are mainly centered around the flying cities. The worlds natural forest remnants are also expanding from the frozen tundra of the north and south. Seeds from unfarmed islands have also washed up on shores and palm forests have reappeared along some coastlines.

Explanation of Behaviour
They are pacifistic in nature and tend to roam the world on their own. Many take to being hermits and act as foresters within a single forest to help it grow. People are called to it from all walks of life and political backgrounds, often giving up everything. This may be down to internal programming by the Agrians affecting the Domians, as they were left to terraform the world back into a livable environment it is assumed members of the Order of the Seed have a much stronger response to this inbuilt requirement.

Issues
They are viewed as a nuisance as their tree planting has forced heavier cargo airships to fly higher to avoid tree tops whereas before they could drift just a few meters from the ground. Their forests are also very easy to get lost in and harbour wild animals which have been known to hunt Domians.
