Tepest

In a sunken hollow, The Drowned Glade is a waterlogged area where ancient stones peek out of the marsh. The water here is still, yet unnervingly dark, as if hiding something beneath the surface. Strange, twisted trees grow out of the swamp, their roots submerged in the murky water. The air is thick and humid, and any sound seems to be swallowed by the oppressive atmosphere. Locals believe the glade is a place of lost souls, where the spirits of those claimed by the Tithe wander aimlessly. Active NPCs/Events: Mira Dewbloom, a water fey, sometimes emerges from the glade, offering blessings or curses depending on the nature of those she meets. She is curious but unpredictable. Rumor: The water in the glade is said to grant visions to those who drink it, but such visions come at the cost of one’s sanity, often revealing dark truths about the Tithe.

A solitary ancient oak tree in a moonlit clearing, with gnarled branches extending outward, dark shadows dancing on the ground, and an ethereal glow emanating from its trunk amidst the night sky.
