Sentient Plants

    There are enchanted forests where the trees come to life and plants have minds of their own; Manors where the only guards are the vining shrubs and the oaks which stand as sentries. All of this is owed to the Path of Verdure. A plant is only as smart as the Verduremancer who gave it a will and the spirit of his or her mind.
