History

Rhulun Rikeim was an enigmatic Botanist and wanderer known for his mysterious journeys into uncharted territories. Legends speak of a gifted Healer with an unparalleled affinity for nature, who embarked on a quest to find the fabled ‘Garden of Serenity.’ It is said that Rhulun encountered a venomous Serpent on the brink of death, which miraculously healed itself after consuming a peculiar herb growing nearby. Intrigued by this revelation, Rhulun named the Herb ‘Snakeheal’ and devoted his life to uncovering its secrets and harnessing its potent healing properties.

Rhulun Rikeim’s relentless pursuit of the ‘Garden of Serenity’ led him through treacherous jungles, perilous mountains, and forgotten ruins. Along the way, he faced dangerous creatures, ancient curses, and the enchanting allure of untamed wilderness. Despite these challenges, Rhulun’s unyielding determination finally led him to the heart of the Garden. There, among the winding vines and radiant blossoms, he discovered the elusive Snakeheal—a gift from nature’s embrace that bestowed the power of rejuvenation upon those who encountered it.
