Born of fire and the thistle's stubborn bloom, named for the great queen's herb-girded throne.

Ember-infusion — you coax the heat from herbs and weave it into living flame that heals or harms as you will.

You always laid a fresh sprig of rosemary on the hearth before lighting the fire. That habit, passed down from your grandmother, never failed. But one evening the sprig caught not flame but a golden glow, and the fire spoke: 'For the thistle-crowned, the hearth bends.' You answered by pressing a smoldering leaf to your palm, and the burn became a seal.
Where the name comes from
