Description:
Beyond the world we see is a world of wonders and perpetual dawn, where mornings are just as beautiful as the night and the flora whimsical in every way. Man was able to traverse this world and lived a peaceful life with its denizens. The Faewild it was called, a land ruled by the Fae King. These humans made a pact to be shepherds, to maintain the balance in this world, until an event that threatened this same balance beckoned all men to the Faewild’s world tree in order to sacrifice it and themselves to protect this world. This cost the Faewild greatly, as the bridge between this world and Earthland was cut off. Knowledge of this world was lost in the pages of history, without any known descendants.

However, the World Tree persisted from its sacrifice, now reverted to its infancy - a seed. Its denizens tried their best to make this seed grow, but without a shepherd, it’s been proven to be impossible. Their wishes, however, would soon then come true, as this seed would resonate and form a temporary rift between the Faewild and Earthland, calling out to a person worthy of being the World Tree’s shepherd.

Abilities:

Sanctified under the Glades
Underneath the majestic shade of the World Tree is the bearer of this lineage sanctified by the light of the Fae King, bequeathing unto them the gift of the Faewild. They find their magic to be soothing and gentle, and their spells are more potent. As a result, the user's base Spell Healing is increased by 100% while their base MP, base Spell Range, base Spell Speed, and base Spell Durability are all increased by 50%.

Baptized by the World Seed
The World Seed itself provides a gift to give to the bearer of this lineage. After being gifted by the Fae King, they are led to a sanctuary where a vivid blue pond sits under the radiance of the twin sun, consecrated by the light it was exposed to. Anointed by this same water, the bearer of the lineage receives the boon of the World Seed, extending the glade’s relentless endurance to them. They’d find that they are less susceptible to harm as they are granted a 50% increase to their Damage Reduction. In addition, the boon bequeathed by the World Seed extends the Faewild’s magic unto them, granting the bearer of this lineage an additional Advanced Spell slot per magic, which ranks with them up to H+ rank, as well as an additional Signature Spell slot per magic, which ranks with the user up to S rank.

Blessed by the Faewild
"A feast!" The fae would yell. A celebration was in order after the heralding of the new shepherd, blessed by the World Seed and the Fae King. Only the best of feast for the most joyous occasion, as one would say. Thus did the fae labor to collect the freshest ingredients, one of which being a dewdrop from a most peculiar plant. It’d be known as honey if not for its peculiar, yet tantalizing, almost psychedelic colors. With just a sip from this divine nectar, they are blessed by the land - a third gift: Gold leaves, a precious resource common only in the Faewild. So precious, in fact, that they are valuable in our realm and can be auctioned off, thus granting a 100% increase in jewel rewards after the completion of a job.

Shepherd of Silver Branches
Those anointed by the denizens of the Faewild and the World Seed are granted access to forbidden arts of healing, known only to those chosen as shepherds. These are more potent in nature, so much so, in fact, that they have the capacity to pierce through the veils of decay and misery and bring nearly departed souls back to the land of the living. Still, this art is forbidden for a reason - it costs its caster’s life force, which cost the previous shepherds their own life to protect the land they loved. The bearer of this lineage gains an additional ability as specified below that costs no MP to cast, however, the spell draws its power from the caster’s life force to activate, draining them of a percentage of their current maximum HP which can’t be recovered nor is it affected by any Damage Resistances or Spell Cost Reductions. This spell can only be cast once per thread.
