The Sowing Eye
Description
One of the two divine eyes of Nikta, the Shepherd of the Seasons—the great owl who maintained the balance of seasons in Fanewick. The Sowing Eye is the eye of spring and growth, representing renewal, fertility, and the promise of harvest. When Nikta gazes upon the land with this eye, crops flourish, flowers bloom, and life springs forth in abundance. It brings warmth, rain, and the potential for nature's generous bounty.
The Sowing Eye is the eye of beginnings—of potential realized.
Properties & Effects
- Induces rapid growth, renewal, and fertility in the land it observes.
- Brings warmth, rain, and conditions favorable to life.
- Without its counterpart (the Reaping Eye), it traps the land in eternal spring—an imbalance that manifests as The Witherwild Corruption, a corruption of endless, uncontrolled growth.
- Wounds refuse to close properly; bodies cling to life beyond their limits and heal malformed.
- Flora and fauna overgrow into grotesque abundance; predators and plants evolve lures and mimicry.
- Even when the soul has passed, flesh writhes and strives to live.
Rarity & Value
Legendary Artifact — One of a kind. The eye of a god. Priceless and irreplaceable.
Source & Location
The Sowing Eye remains with Nikta herself, somewhere deep within Fanewick. The The Witherwild/03 Factions/Fanewraith's Rebels seek to steal this eye—though their ultimate purpose for it remains unclear.
