The glow of the setting summer sun illuminates this perfect birch forest, motes of golden light floating in the air. Manicured paths run through the white trunks—carved standing stones and verdant underbrush marking the trail edges—the widest of which leads to a house. Ancient trees have intertwined, forming the main structure, their roots the foundation and their branches the floors and a roof. Carved timber and stone, merged in places with living wood, complete the structure.
A wall of oak trees rises before you. The trees form a barrier that encircles some place hidden within. The sky is obscured by a shadowy canopy that rises high above you. Out of the center of this fortification, a single enormous tree lunges up beyond the roof of the forest. Its surface is covered in angular glyphs that rise and fade through the bark of the tree.
