Overview
The Pororin Forest Guardians are a faction representing a village hidden deep within the forests of Hernand, shielded from the outside world. The community is made up of Shai and Fadus, two races who live together in harmony among flowers that bloom perpetually. After a traumatic incident involving an outsider, the village sealed its gates and withdrew from contact with other settlements.
Their stronghold, Florindale, is a northern subsidiary village of the Pororin community. Florindale specializes in cultivating fruits and vegetables, sustained by the abundant water resources of a nearby stream. The settlement reflects the guardians' philosophy of living in harmony with nature.

History and Lore
The Pororin Forest Guardians have existed quietly in the deep forests of Hernand for an unknown period. Their village, surrounded by flowers that never stop blooming, is a place where the Shai and Fadus coexist peacefully. The two races share a deep connection with the natural world, and the village reflects this: it is built around the forest rather than against it.
The community's isolation became self-imposed after a specific incident. A scholar, motivated by greed after hearing rumors about the village's mysterious nature, attempted to abduct a Shai resident. The details of what made the village so alluring to the scholar are unclear, but the attempted kidnapping was enough to shatter the guardians' trust in outsiders. In response, the village elders sealed the gates, cutting off all external contact.
Since then, the Pororin Forest Guardians have maintained their seclusion. Florindale, located north of the main settlement, continues to function as an agricultural outpost, growing fruits and vegetables using the clean water from a nearby stream. Whether the guardians will open their gates again depends on the player's actions and the progress of certain questlines.

The Shai and Fadus are two of the non-human races inhabiting Pywel. The Shai are a diminutive people known for their connection to nature and gentle temperaments. The Fadus are plant-like beings closely tied to the forests. Together in the Pororin village, they have created a community that blends both races' affinities for the natural world. The perpetually blooming flowers surrounding the village may be connected to the Fadus' inherent abilities.
