Unnatural stillness permeates this small plateau: a sudden absence of sound, as if you have crossed an invisible threshold into a hidden realm of otherworldly tranquility. A large, opalescent rock bearing celestial carvings sits at the cliff’s edge—the stones set within pulsing with a soft, azure light.

Make us whole in the fleeting warmth of your gaze and keep us from the grasping talons of night.” a plume of black vapor arises from the offering bowl in front of her and floats up into the air, traveling across the plains in the light of the nearly full moon. She stands and shrinks, reverting back to her preferred hybrid form as her brightly plumed wings fold beside her.

She pours you both some nectar wine inside and lounges across from a small table, inviting you to sit across from her.
Alla Breve

I had hoped to wait until you were older to send you on such a dangerous pursuit, but the Full Moon has revealed many mysteries to Cadenza and I. Our dedicated coven work has born fruit. She believes there is more to the Sharawood than anyone here knows. We might possibly be able to make this our new home if it contains the right resources.
If that is not possible, Xavarathimius' spirit is indeed powerful, and could aid us in retaking Rashemen and overcoming the tyranny of Urlingwood. Though whether he would be willing to become a Telthor is unknown, since he has chosen to become a Beast Lords.
There is a strong fey presence here, we must know why and how before we proceed with either of these plans. The magic here is primal and untapped. There have been fables that one of the Unknown locations that it phases to is here in the Beastlands. The Sharawood may provide us more evidence...
