The High Forest

Talanosstaar is a temple tree settlement in High Forest, built within ancient oaks near Sorrow Wood. Architecture follows the natural curves of trees featuring multiple galleries, communal spaces, and terrace gardens interconnected by wooden bridges and accessed by spiraling walkways. The settlement centers around a temple complex containing shrines to Corellon, Angharad, and Labelas, located within the largest trees of the settlement. The priests and scribes in attendance care for vision seekers and guide them into the Grove of Vision deeper in the Sorrow Woods. They also help to interpret the visions and are dedicated to recording the lore of the ancient elven empires. Residential areas surrounding the temples, house not only vision seekers and visitors but also a druidic circle, which together with local treants protects the area of the Sorrow Wood. The significance of this place, and the atmosphere of deep sorrow and remembrance, make it a frequent pilgrimage destination for elves.
