Inevitably, royal henchmen slaughter Tzod’s devoted denizens and take the witch into their custody for subordination toward the growing society. While Tzod and her followers live a simple, peaceful life honoring the great power of the sacred Bloom, the nearby ruling class has little regard for the swamp people and their traditions.
