Listeners of the Root
The Listeners of the Root are a cult of clairvoyant seers and spiritual leaders tasked with duties relating to the passing of souls into the Afterlives and death as a concept among the Eldest Faith of the Forestfolk of the Leshivoi Forest.
While most of the Eldest Faith is focused on the various Firstborn of the Greatwood and the countless minor spirits of the manifested land at home within the Leshivoi Forest the Listeners of the Root constitute a religious fringe group at the outskirts of the faith that nonetheless finds a space among the faithful in their traditionally role as death-guides and seers.
The Listeners are said to commune with the World Root Jiraskr and the 13 splinter fragments that they recognize as independent deified manifestations of the all-knowing and omnipresent root which they believe grows throughout the entire world.
It is said that in communion with the World Root the Listeners gain secret esoteric knowledge of the nature of reality and the Cosmos itself as well as the shape of the future and the fates of those that surround them. Each of the 13 Splinters of Jiraskr is said to have its own distinct traits distinguishing it from the other splinters and Jiraskr as a while.
