Dweller

This class is pretty big and complicated. Dwellers are the 8th clan in Arret, dwelling in the Livingwoods per the Great Gardeners request to learn how to control the plants for the peoples good. The Livingwoods are a dangerous place with unpredictable plants everywhere, but its home. They are crafty, smart people with a passion for figuring stuff out, and are completely used to terrible conditions.
