The innermost sanctum is a realm of overwhelming magic, where reality bends beneath the Verdant Heart’s aura. Its roots coil through every cavern, its branches blot out the sky, and its voice fills the minds of those who approach. The air is thick with enchantment, and mortals often fall into dreamlike trances as they near the Heart.
- A mountain-sized tree spirit whose trunk alone dwarfs castles.
- Its eyes of green fire pierce intruders’ souls, stripping away lies.
- It whispers directly into minds, offering promises, threats, and visions.
- Worshipped as a god by the wood elves, who gather here in pilgrimage and war-hosts.
- **Willow Wraiths** – Sap-bleeding spirits that drive mortals insane with their cries.
- **Elven High Warbands** – Elite hosts of wood elves sworn to the Heart’s defense.
- **Root-Wrought Fey** – Beings formed directly from the Heart’s dreams: unpredictable, powerful, alien.
- **The Heart’s Wrath** – If truly provoked, the forest itself will rise; branches strike like spears, roots swallow intruders, and storms erupt from
its canopy.
