>>42777342All in all it looks good Risuner! Was a nice read and the dialog was straightforward and to the point.
Couple of notes:
- Naming conventions for Saplings are usually Latin/Roman based or at least sounding. Sycamore is fine, though if you feel like changing it an easy pivot would be to use some sort of mix or shortening of the scientific name for the species (Platanus occidentalis)
- Sapling society is primarily matriarchal, so most shamans would be female. But its not unheard of for males to be shamans occasionally, so Sycamore being a guy is fine.
- Ya'll are gonna be here for a whole year? Make sure you mention that at some point to Sycamore because special accommodations will have to made for your crew to prevent the saplification process from affecting you too harshly. Even so, if youre staying a whole year, green tails might be inevitable. (Though maybe with your gems you could redirect the curse/blessing into another focus point? It'd have to be a living thing though... Might be an interesting discussion point...)
- A Nurturer would be a sapling that's already turned Ent, but they would care more about the forest's health than talking with anyone. A Treant would probably be closer to what you're thinking of, but either way, they wouldn't be a shaman. Sycamore can be just another sapling, though depending on the age you want him to be in the story he'd definitely have some saplification signs (up to you how you wanna color this, horns, hooves, fur, leaves, feathers, bark skin, its all on the table, picrel is just an example, doesn't have to be exactly like that).
