[Chronical] Xyphacanthus (Act 2): The Knowledge of the Botanist (first part)
Roaming the New Lands, the emissaries of the People of the Masks questioned sages and elders, botanists and historians, and everyone likely to inform them about the techniques of Gilado Almati, the Botanist Master. In their quest for an alternative to the use of termites, as advocated by the Rangers to close the kitins mounds, the Zoraï'i volunteers didn't spare their efforts nor their time. Of course, researches were intensified by the Subjects of King Stevano, legitimate heirs of the knowledge of their ancestors, who had manipulated life; and from the guards to the gardeners of the royal greenhouse, a great number of the Subjects of the Verdant Height was questioned and listened to.
Strangely enough, and while some like the Royal Botanist and Archivist Cuiccio Perinia didn't want to enlighten their paths, it was a warrior, Mezza Trivia, former leader of the Guild of Karavia and now out of favor of her Sovereign, who put them on the track of Gilado Almati. She called in her campaign memories and managed to indicate them the existence of a stele to the glory of the Botanist, found for the first time by the armies of King Yrkanis during an epic fight at the 4th CA of year 2548 (JY), against the Kitins of the young Queen Kenth'vun La'r.
Once rediscovered, the stele taught few to the Zoraï'i volunteers about the former Matis Botanist Master, but provided them nonetheless with a crucial data: a cavity in the monument showed that, at the time of its erection in 2512, there had been an amber cube in it. Alas, and as could have been expected, the place was found empty by Ma-Duk's followers, but the hope that some evidence of the techniques of the Botanist Master might still exist until recent times, filled the heart of the Masked with courage, and gave a new momentum and a more precise direction to their researches.
Pressed by the threat of a new kitin invasion, the volunteers redoubled their efforts. Across all of the New Lands, above and inside the Bark, the envoys of the People of the Masks questioned every homin, explored every ruin, turned over every collapsed vestige, searching for the amber cube which contained the knowledge of Gilado Almati.
