豐饒之民 - 豐饒

「一束花繁，萬枝枯凋。白骨無緣奉告，最薄情是豐饒。」
——仙舟，《寰宇通鑑》

「豐饒之民」為他們尊愛的神明創作藝術與詩歌，在星河間傳頌藥師的博愛與慈和。受祂祝福的世界，江流湖海永不乾涸，花木鳥獸不為殘酷的時光所縛，肆意地綻放生命的鮮活；受祂祝福的世界，千秋萬載只是一瞥，凡人再不畏懼衰老和壽終，優哉游哉盡享閒趣天倫。

他們來自不同的星系世界，但口中的故事總有雷同之處：千百年前，戰亂肆虐，凡人短暫的生命滋生了貪婪和恐懼，貪婪和恐懼又催化了掠奪和暴政。魔物與疫病乘虛橫行世間，星球與凡人種族的命運在戰火中搖曳……直到仁慈的神明降臨，撒下如第一縷陽光般溫暖的花種。種子觸及大地的瞬間，乾裂的土壤開始癒合，污濁的水流重歸清澈，被創傷和疾病折磨的皮囊再感受不到苦痛，被哀怨填滿的心靈亦得到了沖滌。人們丟棄手中污穢的武器，用即興的口號和頌歌讚美「豐饒」之神的賜福……

「藥師」終結了這些世界的苦難，並賦予了凡人種族不朽的肉身和靈魂。「豐饒之民」把對祂的禮讚傳遍宇宙，將之視為微不足道的回報。他們中的少數也已聽說，星界間有獵人視「藥師」為魔神，祂的造物為孽種——忠誠的「豐饒之民」不會忍氣吞聲，定會對誣衊神明的指控者予以還擊。

Denizens of Abundance — Abundance

"One flower blooms, while thousands more wrinkle. Bones tell no tales, to Abundance most fickle."
— Worlds History as a Mirror, Xianzhou

The Denizens of Abundance create poetry and art in the name of their beloved god, spreading the love and kindness of Yaoshi throughout the universe. In the worlds blessed by Yaoshi, the water never runs dry and creatures are free from the cruel binds of time. Life is free to bloom as it sees fit. In the worlds blessed by Yaoshi, age is but a number, and mortals are not afraid of aging and death. They enjoy their lives to the fullest.

Though its denizens come from different worlds, they all tell the same story: Thousands of years ago, war ravaged their lands. The short lives of mortals bred greed and fear, which gave rise to plunder and tyranny. As demons and plagues ran rampant, the very fate of this world and its denizens were at stake in the flames of war... until a kind god descended and planted a flower seed as warm as the sunshine. The moment the seed touched the earth, the whole world was transformed. Parched soil began to heal and muddy waters became clear. Mortals tortured by wounds and disease were no longer in pain. People's hearts were no longer filled by sorrow. Humankind discarded their blood-stained weapons and began spontaneously praising the blessings from the god of Abundance...

Yaoshi ended the suffering of these worlds and bestowed upon mortals body and soul that could withstand the corrosion of time. In return, the Denizens of Abundance made Yaoshi's name known to the universe to show their gratitude. Rumors started to spread that certain hunters who roam between worlds regard Yaoshi as evil and THEIR creation defiled creatures. The Denizens will not tolerate such blatant blasphemy. The heathens must pay.
