The Matis Seed
The Celestial Seed is the key to the great Matis pharmacology. It is said that it gives full power to its “germinator” to create any living object from a simple nucleus... The master botanists Matis learned how to generate new shoots from their most common Seeds. They thus guide the growth of young plants, day after day, sculpting them with their imagination into refined forms. The task is arduous because the plant grows slowly and is prone to anarchic growth. On average, it takes more than fifty years to produce most of the most beautiful creations. The matis would like to speed up the growth process so that they do not have to deal with the plants every day, their research is dedicated to this goal. The Matis seek to cultivate weapons, furniture, houses, but also have ambitious plans to create entire cities and, ultimate success, a planet. But this last ambition is nourished by the most extravagant Matis scientists. The craziest even imagine a world totally encompassed by a single Matis meta-spirit, where every centimeter of the seed would respond even to ephemeral subconscious desires? Matis have only a few rare seeds to work with. They are in search of the Celestial Seed, which is considered to be the largest of all Atys' seeds. A Matis legend tells that this seed can only be manipulated by the spirits of an entire civilization and that it would guarantee to this people the accomplishment of their deepest desires...
The Zorai Seed
For the Zoraï, Matis research is an aberration. The Matis ambition goes beyond what a homin has the right to want, so, for the Zoraï, the Celestial Seed so much hoped for from the Matis is nothing more than a poison intended to infect other homins. The Matis are exuberant in that they do not seek the advice of the Kamis before undertaking their research and they risk, again and again, the wrath of Atys. One will have understood that for the Zoraï, the Celestial Seed is only an illusion for the common homins.
La Graine Tryker
"La Graine des Rêves", telle que la nomme les Trykers, est une illusion nourrissant ces fous de Matis. Si ces derniers pensent qu'ils peuvent faire grandir tout ce qu'ils désirent à partir d'une simple graine, tous les Trykers savent bien qu'Atys est faite de milliers de plantes qui ont chacune leurs propres particularités et que des milliers de graines seraient nécessaires. Ce qui fait du projet matis une idiotie et une perte de temps. Les Trykers aiment à plaisanter en disant que les matis cultivent l'espoir d'une énorme graine mais que jamais elle ne sera aussi grande que leur ego collectif ..."Va chercher la Graine Céleste !" est une expression fréquemment employée par les aînés Trykers lorsqu'ils veulent qu'on leur fiche la paix ! L'expression "Arrête de chercher la graine céleste" montre également le peu de respect que les Trykers ont pour le rêve des matis.
La Graine Fyros
Pour les Fyros, les recherches matis visent à cultiver un organisme qui serait capable de résister à n'importe quelle agression. Mais, pour les Fyros, c'est oublier un peu vite que rien ne peut arrêter la brûlante progression du grand incendiaire. Les efforts des Matis sont donc totalement vains. Les Fyros critiquent ouvertement les recherches matis, soulignant que les homins des forêts préfèrent débattre de leurs recherches dans leurs labo-salons plutôt que de se confronter au véritable Ennemi, comme les guerriers Fyros le font.
