Rinenian Gardener
The most common title associated with the Green Abbey is closely tied to the worship of Rinen, a primis who's known for protecting life and seeking the hidden knowledge of ancient ruins. These people come from nearly any background but are mainly from the nearby city where they feel subjugated or are otherwise unwanted by the average citizen.
Unlike the average layperson, the Rinenian Gardeners are individuals trained by the order in how to please their chosen deity in every known way. As a being devoted to life and growth, Rinen is commonly honoured by cultivating crops, growing plants, and indulging in personal curiosities. Many of the Primis are regimented and set in hard paths that do not allow much flexibility among their worshippers but Rinen is easy to please and often blesses their faithful in unique or unprecedented ways.
Career
Qualifications
The Rinenian church welcomes all who share a passion of life, in any and all forms. This means that many of those who live at the Green Abbey are simple people who found a peaceful place to spend their lives. They are not devout followers of Rinen but have aligned themselves with the way of life they've found among those who serve him religiously.
To become a recognized member of the Rinenian Gardeners you must be trained by an existing Rinenian Gardener who is in good-standing with the church. The relationship between master and apprentice can take any form, from parent/child to romantic couples, but must include spiritual practices and the botanical techniques that the Green Abbey Gardeners have developed over the past century. Many of their techniques involve Arcana, although most Rinenian Gardeners have no metaphysical training to speak of and have learned by rote and repetition how to catalyze the supernatural elements of their religion with various other supplementary knowledges, such as alchemy and imbibing mind-affecting herbs.
