Who Is Xylos, the Silent Gardener?

His touch brings forth life from barren stone, and decay from vibrant flora, a silent observer of the endless cycle, clad in moss and ancient bark.

Desire

Deepest Fear

The complete triumph of either life or death, disrupting the natural cycle he embodies.

Weakness

His detached perspective often makes him incapable of empathetic intervention, seeing all suffering as part of the cycle.
