Herbalists are those who snatch food from the mouths of the Natives.
Due to the hot and humid climate and densely forested terrain, the Natives of the Southern Border are not adept at farming; even when they discover an extremely beneficial herb, it's challenging to find a suitable place for transplantation, and even if transplanted, it's tough for it to survive.
So they are used to sowing seeds randomly. After worshipping the Forest Ocean Spirit, the people of the Southern Border scatter the seeds wherever they feel appropriate, letting nature decide whether the seeds will germinate and whether they will grow to maturity.
This has been the case for nearly a thousand years.
