Historical Chronicles
Vine is a tall, slender woman whose dark hair is braided with living green tendrils. Thorn is a stocky, brooding wizard who uses earth and vine constructs to trap targets. They ambush Barty in their greenhouse, attempting to overwhelm him with toxic pollen and blood-draining blooms. Barty, a prize-winning gardener, treats them like simple weeds. He sprays their attacking roots with common fungicide and triggers a rapid growth charm on mundane nettles and dandelions, causing the greenhouse's weed population to rise and trap the Weavers in an annoying, itchy thicket.
Quotes
"They're weeds. Overgrown, ill-mannered, and in desperate need of pruning."
"He wants... order! He believes the old ways are weak! He wants to reshape the Consortium!"
