greenscharming

Greenscharming is an ability of Rasul to prevent weeds from growing back by blessing a place. The blessing they give follows:

In the name of The Just, her radiance a beacon in the night.

Bearing witness, her consort, The Faithful Son of the Day.

I seek protection for this land, O heavenly ones,

I beseech you, O Emissary of Light, the Bringer of Dawn,

To you, O Emissary of Sleep, Guide through Dusk,

Messengers of the mother, of the beginning, and the end,

To hold this land still.

Ameen.

Comparing the descriptions with the iconography on their Deathhead artworks, the Radiant Just could potentially be Al ‘Adl. The Faithful Son of Day might be Al Mu’min. The Emissaries of Light and Sleep may be An Nur and Al Hadi. In real-world Islam, those four names are used to refer to justice, faith, light, and guidance, respectively, in the context of Allah.

Sam works as a greenscharmer, and she enlisted Zach to help with it when performing the ritual. The more Rasul involved, the longer it takes weeds to regrow.

It is possible that greenscharmers are needed because the weeds are caused by whatever magic turned Dilmun from a desert into an oasis.
