Mental Trauma

Fairy fan-flowers are small shrubs. They are not supposed to be trees.
That is probably how the Ministry Transmogrifer quickly identified a "tree" that was, in fact, a Treant!
The Transmogrifer harvested a piece of the heart of this "tree", using it in an elaborate ritual to bind the will of a supernatural being into involuntary service.
 
The year was 574.
 
I had to perform deeds from which I will never be clean.
Your ally, too, will do things that would not have been his choice if he were free.
I did things, went places, because I knew that I was to do them.
 
After three horrific years, Scaevola Aemula is free ... for now!
 
Her greatest priority is to move her tree. It must not be where The Ministry last found it.
Her second-greatest priority is to find a new territory where The Ministry will not discover her tree.
Her third-greatest priority, a distant third yet still bright-burning in her soul, is to make "Master Farvald Kerner" and his mentor suffer excrutiating tortures for their presumption.
 
If … if she can foster growth in this alliance with the Druid Jesse Devonshire … provided he is no longer Will-Bound in service to the very Ministry she despises? That would, indeed, be a pleasing outcome.
 
But the latter three combined are worthless if Scaevola Aemula cannot safeguard her heart!

Known Languages
 
Though she shows no indication of speaking any Euthero, in all three of her languages Scaevola Aemula has a mild hint of Topan in the shape of her vowels. Perhaps she was taught to speak by someone whose native language was Euthero?
