Following Jorin Lightheart's communion with the Elementals and subsequent re-emergence of the people of Gelmorra returning to the surface, Jorin received a blessing of light, that would not make a reappearance until much later when he would have a child that would be born with two strange round bumps on his head. This child would show strange gifts of prophecy and premonition, predicting rainstorms, blight amongst plants and crops, and eventually begin to hear the voices of the Elementals themselves.

By age twelve, the strange bumps eventually turned into horns, and the boy stopped growing altogether. While some thought the boy sick, Jorin eventually realized he was the blessing bestowed upon him by the Elementals: a Padjal, the first of his kind. The boy discarded his birth name, taking the name I-Ohok-Pota, which he stated was the sound the aetheric waves made when the Elementals spoke to him. Following in his example, Jorin took the name Pota as well.

Almost forty years later, another Padjal child was born, whom I-Ohok-Pota took in and raised, naming him U-Kote-Num. Following this, all Padjal children would be entrusted to Pota, where they would be raised with their own kind. They were entrusted with the Amdapori White Magic by the Elementals, and were taught how to offer succor to the forest and remove any taint infecting it.

Eventually, I-Ohok-Pota would come to be the leader of Gridania at the behest of the Seedseer Council, and was named the Elder Seedseer.

At the age two hundred and seventy two, Pota passed away from old age while meditating. He did not show any signs of sickness, and looked to be no older than ten until the end of his days.
