Little Barkstone
The sacrosanct holy site and a temple to the god Panus. Grown from the only surviving seed of Barkstone, the first and great tree of Old Rousanage, it has become almost twice as large and distinctive through the careful care it was given as a sapling by Panus' closest followers. The temple is rumoured to be a gateway to the High Temple which is otherwise impossible to find.
Geography
The treeline of the dense New Lavern forest comes to an end around 400ft from the base of the tree. the ground slopes down, unevenly undulating over the roots of the tree, before rising sharply up to meet the trunk of the tree. The tree itself is 250ft in diameter, with rough twisting bark and whirling knots. The branches don't start to spread until it's cleared 100ft.
Fauna & Flora
The undergrowth that surround the base of the tree is intensely dense. It's nigh impassable on foot. The kind of undergrowth that is normally found in forests (ferns, mushrooms, brambles and such) here grow as large as some trees. The boughs of the tree house their own ecosystem including animals that can't be found anywhere else in the world. Almost none of them studies and categorised as only fervent followers of Panus can even get close.
