2. botanist and master-builder Gilado Almati (presumably 2403 - 2481 AC) is best known for his knowledge how to make plants grow at a fast pace, like the trees in the Almati woods - a region of the Old Lands named after him. Originally he worked at this place at older age to grow Matisian dwelling-trees that would provide living-space for the royality. But more and more rumours started to spread: that Almati was in reality an alchemist and had been breaking the rules of matisian biology to achieve his goals faster…
Homins who followed up the rumours, mysteriously vanished within the area of Almati-woods where Gilado Almati and his assistand allegedly worked inside a hidden underground laboratory; so no evidence of any violations of the law was found. Almatis' good relations with the royal family protected him at first, but as more and more vasalls vanished the king decided to start an investigation. Fortunately or unfortunately for Almati the first Great Swarming began right afterwards - and Almati vanished, like so many other homins did during those dark times.
3. former general Mezza Triva has been spotted and quizzed by some homins on Fallenor 18, 1st AC 2574 (OOC: July 24th 2013) in Yrkanis about Gilado Almati, after a disappointing talk with the famous royal botanist Cuiccio Perinia who would not give away anything about Almati's techniques. Some guards have leaked information that Mezza Triva had found something mentioning Gilado Almati when fighting Kitins, and she confirmed this herself. She said that she had spotted a stele during the battles with the kitins following the young queen who now lives in the Almati-woods. The battle took place in some sort of swamp in heretic's hovel - indicating some lake within the chilling swamp.
4. at this point Filira Salazar Caradini remembered a stele that had been there and lead the other homins to this place. The Stele in fact was there, and the inscription read:
In the year 2512 of our goddess Jena, I engraved this stele in remembrance of our master, the master botanist at the royal court of King Domini, Gilado Almati (2403 - disappeared 2481. He was the creator of the majestic forest who bears his name and in which the trees grow that will harbor the apartments of our sovereign and his family. His talent and his knowledge made this location an adornment of the kingdom and a land in which the melancholy is only surpassed by its beauty. The masterpiece of our master's forest bears testimony and conceals at the same time from the roots to the canopy a knowledge that only he is allowed to pass. To be sure that at least his assistants don't reveal it.
There was an angular shaped dent in the stele, looking a lot like it had been made for an amber-cube.
