Sempervines History
We worship the 'Great tree"​

It is what gives us water, life, shade, growth, and prosperity.
The origins of how Sempervine came to life are one that is hidden in actuality, obscured by time, reiterated tales, and false statements. But, thanks to ooc, we may learn more about them. Coming from a heavily occupied system of space located outside the jurisdiction of Antares, the mightiest chief sends off his largest fleet with his strongest, most well crafted Florans. Each one able to be a chief in their own right, they were tasked with occupying space outside of their own, in an attempt to take over more space outside their range.

One place that one Floran would indeed be dropped off at, is in the system "Antares". Landing on Pallaea, the first chief was the first of his kind to set foot on this arid, dry planet to his own knowledge. He set off wandering, studying the ecosystem, the conditions of the temperature, and scoping for any large trees. Finding just that, the largest tree she's ever seen fixated on a mountain, with strong, sturdy roots draped across all sides, he pollinated himself, and set to carving into the tree, one claw scrape at a time.

After the grueling, straining process of rebuilding not only his fellow Florans, but his future generations home, he fought against extreme heat, extreme cold, sand storms, lone lion like creatures that looked to eat them, and of course, the task of removing the worm hive located in the mountain. Large, crawl space sized caverns filled this mountain, with hoards of worms living inside. The 'war' of the worms was one that was tough, mainly because of the lightness tunnels, and the unknown factors of how they fought. However, once they found coal, it was quick to be crafted into make-shift torches, and the fight became one that the Florans could take. Assaulting the tunnels, they were ambushed repeatedly, flanked, and out numbered drastically. Due to the chiefs talent as a leader, fighter, and survivor, he was able to keep his team of 3 florans along side him, and keep a square like defensive structure, able to jam their spears at their brains, retract, and repeat in quick succession. At the end, they had a massacre of worms, so much that pools of blood collected at the bottom of the worms former caves.

Occurring roughly 350 years after first settlement, human adventurers landed within viewing distance of the tribe. Many more explorers, campers, and shady business men landed, and ultimately met their demise, securing the tribe unique and tasty feasts. After the first tribes chief met his demise after 170 years of settlement, another chief was selected, and took a different approach for the tribe for prisoners. This technique wouldn't be employed until a staggering 480 years later, when one lone human made the mistake of landing his ship on the relatively flat surface of Pallaea.

Not only was he immediately flanked by returning hunters and gatherers, but he was taken in alive, due to him taking the 'flight' instinct instead of 'fight'. Once taken in, he was interrogated, tortured, and isolated to break him down, turn him into a tool, a weapon. It didn't plan exactly as the chief wanted it to go, as the psychological and physical damage was too severe, and he was found to have broken his cage, and stabbed himself with the bamboo shards in his eyes until brain functions ceased.

Regardless, the 9th generation chief of Pallaea, in other words know as "Amanita Stem", valued the more cunning aspect of florans. Some may argue it is because he is small, only 5'5, some may say it is because he has abandoned the way of 'brute strength'. For Stem, all he knows, is when you take the silent, careful, and overpowering approach, results occur.​
