Montara

Standing proudly at the heart of Elmsreach, the Majestic Ancient Oak is an awe-inspiring tree, its towering trunk and sprawling branches a symbol of the village’s deep connection to Everwood. The oak is believed to be centuries old, and its roots have grown so wide that they form natural seats and gathering spaces for the community. The tree is revered as sacred, and its bark is covered in intricate carvings—some by settlers, others said to be ancient symbols from forgotten times. At night, the oak glows with a soft, ethereal light from bioluminescent fungi that cling to its trunk, casting a serene glow over the square. Local druids often perform rituals here, offering prayers to the forest spirits for protection and prosperity. It’s a place of both reflection and celebration, where the village gathers for important events or to simply enjoy the beauty and serenity of nature.
