The Leafin Family - Earthen Magic Masters
Family 1 of the Thirteen Ancestral Families of Magic on the Fantasy World of Erudus
Earthen Magic - The Leafin family
Status
The first key, Earthen Magic, and descendents of the first magical family, the Leafins are active. On Erudus, The Great Mother, Arboria, and Meadow, Aroboria’s daughter, are masters in the key.
Why the Leafin’s?
The Leafin family has lived in the Quilleaf forests for generations. Their ancestors were on the planet before the great Earthian inflow, when the forest was rich, and strong.
When the Earth people settled, they stripped the environment, as they had done on Earth, putting the ecosystems on the planet in jeopardy. The forest began to die, and it wasn’t until the Goddess Aurora gave the Mother Tree seeds to the priestess, that the forest began to recover. Ever since then, the Quilleaf people work to protect and enrich their environment.
When the Kilgerat began killing planets, and destroying environments, many of the Leafins went to participate in the great uprising. It was Briar Leafin who survived the bacteria. Because he had lived in the forest all his life, and had been a protector of the environment since he was young. Scholars believe that the neuroplasticity of the brain, was easily modified to magic that is centered around nature, the earth, and the environment, because of this.

Relationships to the other magical families of the top 13
Early on the Leafins became friends with the Ravenwoods, masters of key 4, animal magic. Their friendship withered when Mosswyn was voted in as the new priestess of the Quilleaf people. The duties and stress of Mosswyn’s new position did not allow her to visit her friends. Now, although the people remember the Ravenwood mages in their forest, mages of animal magic have visited the Quilleaf people for sols.
The Clearwaitier family, who are masters of the ninth key, Enchantment magic, are in contact with Arboria. She has never met them in person, but because of her mastery in Enchantment Magic, they family regularly checks in with her.
