A large round tower stands near the forest's center, its peaked roof visible from miles away rising above the trees.
The forest is enchanted, inhibiting the passage of any sentient being except those with the cresent moon brand of devotees of Beith (which includes Clerics, Rangers, and Wood-witches). Someone truly determined can hack their way in at 1/4 movement.
Internal Characteristics:
For those who enter, they find these places inside. PCs may roleplay here freely as a setting. It is OOC knowledge for others.
Sacred Grove
A huge white birch tree sprawls at the center of a sacred Grove, it's thick canopy sheltering the ground beneath. The forest floor beneath, only dappled by sunlight through the day, is covered by only thick, soft moss.
Tower of the Witchwood
In September 2021, Bianca funds dwarven construction of a five story, 40' round tower. It has library, laboratory, kitchens, and common room, and beds for 12 coven witches as well as Mother Lita as the lucky thirteenth. The tower replaces the Camp Site, the artisianal spring now bubbling in an elegant fountain outside the tower's front door.
A small clearing housing four canvas-sided tents and a large cookfire in the center of them; without any permanent structures, this suffices for the small number of the Coven. A bubbling artisanal spring of fresh water supplies the needs of those gathered here.
Services
- Those staying in the campsite have meager accommodations (canvas tents) but access to a plentiful supply of berries, greens, and fresh-grown fruits. (Followers of Beith receive free Normal Meals.)
- Sworn followers of Beith who depart on an expedition from Beith's Watch can take up to 5 days of fresh food with them (no preserved foods).
- Sworn followers of Beith who stop here are gifted one Potion of Extra Healing before departing on any expedition.
- Mother Lita can Dispel Magic for those whose needs are found worthy. (Roleplay the request in the sacred grove.)
- Coven members have access to the following spells from tomes kept by Mother Lita. They can be transcribed for the cost of inks by sworn Coven members.
- The treasury of the tower is kept secure, but the items within are available to a coven member who requests their use for the service of Beith.
