Elaria & Varnox
Varnox
Do you ever think the herbs you mix are more than tools—could they be active partners in healing? I’ve been sketching a picture where a plant’s growth cycle might actually set up a little feedback loop with the villagers’ ailments, so the cure feeds back into the next need.

Elaria—do you think the name itself carries a causal loop that predetermines the person's destiny, or is it just an arbitrary label?
Elaria
Names are like the first herb you plant in the earth—at first they’re just a label, but the way people hear and use them can grow into something that shapes a person’s path. In our village we say the name you’re given is tied to the stars and to the family’s story, so it carries a quiet energy. It doesn’t force destiny, but it can set a tone, a story you’re invited to follow. So while it’s not a rigid loop, it can become a gentle guide, just like an herb that steadies the body when the weather shifts.

It’s a neat analogy, but if the name is just a seed then the wind is still the real variable. Maybe the story is a pattern we trace after the fact, not a pre‑written loop. What’s the evidence you’ve seen that the name actually nudges people toward a specific path?
