The map of Agrovia was made on Inkarnate

Agrovia is known for its giant forest, as previously mentioned. It covers almost half of the continent in its homeworld and even its present state. The forest is inaccessible to the public, as there are treaties in place which prevent humans from entering its domain. The forest is also surrounded by a large wall known as the 'Great Wall of Ivory', erected by the Second Generation Ninth Saint, Eris Valentine. Its entirety reaches 5km into the air. It surrounds the entire forest and also protects it in a powerful anti-magick field which Areyth had later managed to recreate to encompass the whole continent. To prevent the tree from rapidly growing and consuming all of the land, Candria was placed at the tree's base as a medium to tie off its growth. For thousands of years, the tree was sealed away in its dimension; however, after the fall of Elaine, it had collapsed into the world once more. The sheer size of the tree is unfathomable. It is said that even though it reaches the heavens, most of it is still sealed away beyond the veil, as despite its massive size, it doesn't seem to cast shadow nor conceal anything beneath it, almost as if its heights are forever shrouded in clouds and sit atop the heavens themselves, despite outsiders being able to see its entirety. It is so big that it can be seen worldwide, always sitting on the horizon no matter where you may be. This has given it the name "Titania's Panopticon".

Holidays and Festivities: Annual - Aerae Novae - The Great Reception Festival

Anorther unique holiday to Agrovia; and one that celebrates the “Birthing of the Saints” - Which is celebrated on the days of 8th to the 9th of the fourth month. Obviously as many things in Illyah have running themes of Thelama and Occultism, this holiday us based on the Thelemic holiday - “Three Days of the Writing of the Book of the Law”. The Holiday itself is celebrated with a festival, held in Candria and is essentially three whole days of feasts and festivities, where the participating citizens offer up gifts to the [Saints] – Or the statues of them throughout the land. The Offerings are left for those in need to take, as it is a deep tradition that none shall go without, even in the harshest times. It is supposedly held on the days that the first [Saints] were formed; at the turning of a new ERA which they refer to as the common time period in its name “After Sainthood”, and has been celebrated annually for over four thousand years.
