The Flower Goddess is a deity whose old temple stood beneath the city once known as Rosereach, now the ruined Deadreach, and whose corrupted form became the undead colony-mind known as the Reminder. ^{[heralds-a#125 · heralds-a#124]}

Overview

Survivors of the city's fall are sheltered beneath her vaults, hidden in the tunnels of the ruined past. ^{[heralds-a#103]} Deadreach itself was built over this old temple; when the city fell, the temple collapsed along with it, and its domain is tied to a memory-flower motif. ^{[heralds-a#125]}

The Vault of the First Petal

Within the vault beneath the ruined city stands an old sacred gate leading into the Flower Goddess's own domain. ^{[heralds-a#124]} Outside that gate, the corrupted form of the goddess — the Reminder — surrounds the vault with its vines, trying to force its way back inside. ^{[heralds-a#124]}

Needs a decision: Whether the dark elves once opened the gate and carried off a bud or petal from within it, and what bond ties the goddess's own origin to House Rosemint's.^{[heralds-a#124]}

The Temple and the Golden Flower

The Rosereach temple stood until the Golden Flower housed within it was plucked, at which point the temple was destroyed. ^{[heralds-a#149]}
