Description
Edwin "Ed" Whitlow, hails from a well-respected botanist family in the old world. His father was a royal horticulturist, tending to the grand gardens of the capital, while his mother was a scholar specializing in herbal alchemy. From a young age, Edwin was immersed in the world of plants, growing up in lush conservatories filled with exotic flowers collected from traders and explorers returning from distant lands. However, Edwin was never content with merely tending to plants others had found—he wanted to be the one to discover them.
Hearing of an untouched continent recently charted by expeditions, Edwin left behind his life of comfort and boarded a trade ship bound for the unknown. The journey was perilous, with fierce storms and rumors of supernatural forces plaguing the region, but after weeks at sea, he arrived in Veridion, a fledgling settlement on the continent’s eastern coast. The town was rough and filled with fortune seekers, rogue scholars, and outcasts, but it was also a place brimming with opportunities.
Upon arrival, Edwin quickly realized that funding his dream of botanical exploration required a steady income. Thus, he established "The Verdant Curio," a flower shop specializing in exotic and magical flora. While the settlement lacked aristocratic patrons, Edwin's flowers became highly sought after for their rumored mystical effects—some aiding in sleep, others repelling pests, and a few even believed to enhance dreams or focus.
His reputation grew as he bartered with local herbalists, experimented with cultivation techniques, and charmed settlers with his knowledge of plants. However, Edwin's true passion remained in venturing beyond the known borders, trekking through dense jungles, sun-scorched valleys, and mist-covered highlands in search of botanical wonders yet unseen.
Edwin has begun documenting strange occurrences in the wilderness. Some flowers seem to bloom only under moonlight, whispering on the wind when disturbed. Others change colors depending on who touches them, as if reacting to one’s emotions. One fateful night, after drinking tea brewed from a rare blue-petaled flower, Edwin experienced a vivid dream—one where ghostly figures guided him deeper into the jungle, towards a temple overgrown with vines. He awoke with the distinct feeling that the land itself was trying to communicate with him.
Edwin’s ultimate goal is to catalog the flora of this uncharted land and unlock their secrets. He dreams of publishing the first great botanical compendium of the continent, one that will be remembered for generations. But as the plants whisper secrets only he seems to understand, he begins to wonder—does he seek to uncover the mysteries of nature, or is he becoming part of them?
