The Magic of Earth

Earth magic is the definition of strength and endurance. It is the element of growth and defense. Skilled wielders of earth magic can conjure plant-life and vines from the ground. They can hurl boulders, create rocky defenses, camouflage brilliantly into natural environments and create the most ground shattering earthquakes. Geomancers are often underestimated for their love of plants and disdain for city life. They more commonly choose peace and show value for life and the natural world. Asmunids, The Leshen Lord, is the god of flora and fauna, the protector of the natural world and associated with earth magic. Delvheim produces the most earth mages, potentially due to many being born under ground and with ancestors gifted at digging through the mountains. Earth magic weakens significantly at sea.
