Terramancy

Terramancy
Terramancy, or the study of the earth, is the manipulation of the earth, the wind and the leaves that grow around it. Its requires 20 or more years to fully learn, or can be taught by a master in 15.

The craft can be used to speed up the process of growing crops, or to move trees by forcing them to grow in a certain direction. These types of manipulations can usually be done by meditating while near the object you wish to change or move.

Human Origin
The origin of Terramancy is unknown but most religious sources point to the large oak tree located outside of the Kingdom of Pesar. The legend goes that one man had walked up the tree to pray, alone in the middle of the night. He bent over to pray, and once he stood up he was met by a women spirit, a maiden he described it as. The next day he found that he could force saplings to grow at rapid paces and could force trees to move when he waved his hand.

The man was exalted among men and all the villagers began walking him about, showing his powers to different people.

Elven Origin
Terramancy has been an essential part of Elf culture for over 45 years, as it has been used to create houses atop trees unreachable by Humans or Dwarves. Though Terramancy is mainly associated with Humans, elves have worshipped it as the creator's gift. The creator being an elf who laid the foundation of Fraetell.

The creator had come form the east, on a boat completely made out of rusted metals and trees with the branches still attached to the tree logs. Deere pranced off the boat and butterflies swarmed above it. When the boat finally reached land, where the tribes of Elves had gathered ; he laid a stone foundation, with trees that had bent to his will. Learning from the creator, elves began to use this skill to build large structures.
