Shrine of Zelda
On the road at the border of Elderspire and Shanrao, east of Nightgate, stands a small shrine of a dignified-looking cat made of polished wood and stone. The shrine foundation itself is detailed in silver, standing near a red arch in the heart of the forest. Nobody really knows when the shrine was built or by whom. The small cat shrine is said to be the adventurous cat spirit of the wilderness named Zelda. An offering to the shrine grants travelers protection along the roads. Zelda is said to walk alongside those travelers who pass by until they reach their destination; she then returns to her home. Cherry blossoms are often spotted near the shrine despite no such trees naturally occurring in the region.
Sensory & Appearance
The mortal senses are very much at ease when at the shrine. The pleasant ambiance of the distantly heard waterfall and the scampering about of small animals in the woods leaves visitors feeling in harmony with nature.
Valuables
Offerings of rice, sake, coins, and flowers are often found in the offering bowl.
