Sacred Glade / Mythical Location

Overview

Wyrmwood Glade is one of the most sacred sites in Tarnith, hidden deep within the ancient forest where the boundary between the mortal world and the Feywild is thinnest. It is a place of primal magic, where the roots of colossal trees whisper forgotten truths and spirits glide between shafts of moonlight.
This glade is home to the legendary Cauldron of Eternal Wellspring, guarded by the shapeshifting spirit Cerridwyn. Only those deemed worthy may enter the heart of the glade and seek the Cauldron's blessing—or endure its curse.

Appearance

The glade is encircled by towering wyrmwood trees whose bark shimmers with iridescent moss and runic carvings. A soft glow emanates from bioluminescent flowers that bloom under starlight. The air carries a faint hum, as if echoing the Sacred Cycle itself.

Spiritual Significance

Wyrmwood Glade represents rebirth, purification, and the balance of sacrifice. Druids of the Veil regard it as a living sanctum—its very presence said to repel decay and corruption. Some believe the glade formed from the song of the Elder Triad, its soil seeded with their divine harmony.

Notable Figures

Cerridwyn — The spirit guardian of the Cauldron. Often appears as a white-horned doe, a cloaked crone, or a ripple in moonlit water. She tests all who enter with riddles, illusions, or dreams.

Legends

The First Rebirth: It is said that after the Fall of the Broken Crown, the glade restored life to the land's rightful heir, marking the first return of balance.

The Withering Pilgrim: A tale of a corrupted mage who sought the Cauldron and was transformed into a tree that weeps sap in the shape of faces.

Protections and Trials

The glade cannot be found by force—only by fate or guidance. Those who enter without reverence may become lost in a temporal fold or turned away by the forest itself. Even the worthy must face Cerridwyn’s trials to reach the Cauldron.
