The Matron

“From her breath, forests bloom; from her tears, mountains rise.”

Realm: Vein
Symbol: A branch entwined with blooming roses and bones
Meaning (Upright): Creation, nurturing, abundance
Meaning (Reversed): Neglect, vanity, decay of purpose

Lore:
The Matron is the earth's heart, mother of beasts, and keeper of all living roots.
In her embrace, kingdoms are born; in her wrath, they crumble to dust.
Her temples are gardens where no tool of war is allowed, for she abhors the wasting of life.

To draw her upright is to be reminded that all creation begins with care - what is tended grows.
Reversed, she warns of withering through greed or [ride - the garden untended becomes its own tomb.

Prophecy Verse:
"Tend the seed, though the storm may howl,
for even the thunder must bow to the blossom."
