Seal of Nature

The Seal of Nature can be found on the way to the top of Avechna's Peak, in the Cave of Nature. The Seal of Nature is a disc of green malachite, approximately the size of a small shield. Runes are etched around its rim that glow with an inner power. In the centre of the shield is the image of a pair of feet, delicate and grass stained. Disturbingly, the toes on the feet sometimes wriggle or occasionally one foot taps as though impatient. The seal floats in the air of its own power and thrums with a lifeforce that makes the very air around it blur.

The Seal of Nature, like all of the Living Seals, is composed of and empowered by the divine essence of the Vernal Gods; in this case, the Seal belongs to Kiakoda, Guardian of the Green.

When the Seals are weakened, the mortals of Lusternia participate in a series of challenges designed to restore their power. In the end, just one mortal holds the Staff of Ascension and becomes a God. During this event, mortals participate in the Challenge of Nature, a scavenger hunt that takes them across the Basin of Life to find a variety of obscure locations.
