Druid Glade

The Grove is a place of power with influence over the wilds of Sundren. The primal aspects of the grove (Strength, Temper, Alertness, Joy, and Grace) act as two way conduits between the wilds and the grove. Through his communion with the aspects, the Keeper can both perceive what is happening within the wilds, and act to influence it. Nes'Anah, the Peace of the Grove, exerts a calming influence over these proceedings so that conflict does not develop between the aspects, and so that the Keeper's fierce protectiveness of the wilds does not cause him to take extreme action.
