"Spires of living bark, where visions linger; enticed by scent and shade, the sky briefly spied as an upturned face peeks between the antediluvian's fingers.

There is a power that seeps forth from hallowed ground. It's lazy, yet strong, and gives life to these old bones. Through root and knot, twig and cone, a song has been sung here for as long as there has been an Elder Wood."
