Faelinn Grove
Pronunciation: FAY-lin GROVE
Map Index: C-5
Location: East central Aorlan inside the forest of Mithtaur
Geography: Faelinn Grove, hidden away in the northern reaches of the ancient forest of Mithtaur, stands as a majestic sanctuary of nature's most remarkable wonders. Encompassing an awe-inspiring expanse of colossal oak trees, Faelinn Grove is believed to harbor the oldest living trees in existence. The grove holds profound significance as a revered holy site, cherished by various nature-centric factions, including the fey of the Seelie Court, druids, Valtauri elves, and the Ceodari.
These ancient oaks, of a rare and elusive species, are widely considered to be the last vestiges of the once-great northern forest that thrived during the fabled 3rd Age. To safeguard their precious legacy, the elves and druids have taken care to gather acorns from under the trees' vast canopies and propagated their lineage in other parts of the world.
Surrounding the grove, a formidable band of treants, ancient tree guardians, reside, fiercely protecting the sanctity of the hallowed grounds. Concealed within the trees and the surrounding wilderness, elusive fey folk, affiliated with the Seelie Court, skillfully evade detection as they keep watch for intruders, ensuring the tranquility of their cherished home.
The grove harbors hidden secrets, bound within the ancient trees that have borne witness to the rise of elven civilizations and the catastrophic consequences of humanity's reckless actions.

Faelinn Grove has become a prominent pilgrimage site for the druids of Aorlan, who consider it an essential rite to visit the forest at least once in their lifetime.
Monsters: Fae guardians carefully monitor the grove and all approaches to it. They swiftly react to any outside threats making the area extremely safe and free of all monsterous beings.
History: Despite the turmoil caused by the Great Cataclysm, Faelinn Grove miraculously emerged unscathed, untouched by the cataclysmic events that shook the world. It stands as a testament to the enduring resilience and otherworldly nature of the ancient oaks, and their enduring natural magic, to have withstood the test of time and retained their sentience and power throughout the ages. Thus, Faelinn Grove remains a living relic of bygone eras, a sanctuary of immense ecological and spiritual significance, fostering harmony between the natural world and those who seek solace within its hallowed embrace.
Today: Faelinn Grove serves as a wellspring of potent earth energy, making it one of the most powerful leyline sites known to mortals. Divine nature magic cast within its sacred confines amplifies exponentially.
