Shatu Hak

Shatu Hak is an anomaly even among the wondrous and variegated Banyari. From a very young age, she experienced an empathy and connection with the flora and fauna of her shard that exceeded all accounts, save those from a fabled time.

Recognized by the elders and the speakers for her tribe’s Hearthwood Tree, she was tested and subjected to a gauntlet of initiations. Upon emerging from her ordeals, Shatu Hak separated the knot of roots surrounding her heart, and the Green Heart shined its emerald light into the world for the first time.

She is absolutely ancient, and this may be due in no small part to her isolated life upon Banyan. Although she was once escorted to and from Zenith by monks wishing to hear her simple but profound teachings on Compassion, she has not left Banyan since. Only recently has her beloved student Faradon Lux convinced her to meet on Haark, in order to appoint her to the Skyborn Office of Mahan of the Green Light. Lux hoped this would rally other Skyborn to a cause they both hold dear.

She has demonstrated far-ranging telepathy and empathy, and there exist rumors that she has the ability to enhance the lifeforce of fauna and renew flora.
