The Herbalist
Before going on the road with Ethan, Diana, and Rhodes, Lydia began her training in an oracle temple. Under the watchful eyes of her mentor Eris, she learned the arts of healing through herbs and other natural medicines. As part of her education she was required to grow and maintain a garden of various plants and make medicines out of them for use in treating the wounds of her follow Oracles and any visitors to the temple.
Oracles were required to know how to treat wounds through plants as more complex medical care was not always available, and their ministrations could mean the difference between a patient's survival or their death.
Modern medical care in that part of the world recognized the value of herbal medicine, and this was another reason the Oracles were generally trusted and respected by most of the general population.
