The Praxian Beast Riders don't care about agricultural (or horticultural) spirits. To them, it is unnatural to plant something and watch it grow.
The oasis folk (including those at the Paps) have a quite functional agriculture or horticulture which provides sufficient surplus to survive being plundered by the Praxians. They are restricted to places unravaged by the Wildfire, though, where sufficient water flows.
Prax is scarred by fire. Tada, its earth king is dead. Redwood has been reduced to a stump. Storm Bull keeps out the rains. But the land isn't quite dead.

> The 48 old ones are the shattered fragments of the Horn of Plenty.
CoP p.30:
"These are the remnants of the old agricultural spirits still attached
to the cult at the Paps. Each may be gotten as an allied spirit by
priestesses of the Paps."
> Hardly agricultural spirits.
Where does that Horn of Plenty reference stem from? And what makes the Horn of Plenty separate from agricultural spirits?
