Bio
[edit]I woke within the seed and saw my destiny, and many were its branches.▶️Nature's Prophet
Alias:
NP
Lore:
When Verodicia, Goddess of the Woods, had finished filling in the green places, having planted the coiled-up spirit in the seed, having lured the twining waters from deep within the rock, having sworn the sun its full attention to the growing things, she realized that her own time had reached its end, and like one of the leaves whose fate she had imprinted in the seed, she would fall without seeing the fruiting of her dream. It pained her to leave the world bereft, for the sprouts had not yet broken through the soil--and they would be tender and vulnerable to every sort of harm. She found in her seed pouch one last seed that she had missed in the sowing. She spoke a single word into the seed and swallowed it as she fell. Her vast body decomposed throughout the long winter, becoming the humus that would feed the seedlings in the spring. And on the morning of the vernal equinox, before the rest of the forest had begun to wake, that last seed ripened and burst in an instant. From it stepped Nature's Prophet, in full leaf, strong and wise, possessing Verodicia's power to foresee where he would be needed most in defense of the green places--and any who might be fortunate enough to call him an ally.

Trivia
[edit]- During early beta, Nature's Prophet was named "Tequoia". The name was removed later on for unknown reasons.
- As of now, Nature's Prophet's name is not known.
- Nature's Prophet is sometimes called the "Nature's Profit" within the community, due to his farming and split-pushing playstyle.
- Nature's Prophet's early lore concept made him the father of Anti-Mage and Terrorblade, but was changed later on.
- The old lore was based on the lore within DotA1, where he is the father of them as well.
- Nature's Prophet's spawn response ▶️ "I speak for the trees." is a reference and homage to Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.
- Nature's Prophet's last-hit response ▶️ "Green is good." is a quote from the 1987 film Wall Street.
- It also references the Warcraft 3 cheatcode "greedisgood", which grants the player gold and lumber.

- Warcraft 3 similarities:
- Nature's Prophet's hero concept is originally based on Furion, a campaign-only variant of the Night Elf Keeper of the Grove hero.

- Within the community and within some game files, he is still commonly refered to as Furion.
- Nature's Call's original iteration was identical to the Keeper of the Grove's Force of Nature.
- In DotA, the ability is named Force of Nature as well. The name was likely changed to differentiate it more from his ultimate.
- Nature's Prophet's old ability Entangling Roots was identical to the Keeper of the Grove's Entangling Roots.
- Nature's Prophet's old ultimate, Tranquility Aura was inspired by the Keeper of the Grove's Tranquility.
- Teleportation's original iteration was identical to the Warden's Blink, with a high cast time and global cast range.
- Wrath of Nature's original iteration was identical to the Far Seer's Chain Lightning, with global cast and bounce range.
