Pfapohrrv Forest
Type: Forest Nation: Othaala Region: Yavathre Sector
Overview
A glowing forest east of Lumen on the Yavathre Plateau, named for the Grotaarre Trees that dominate its flora. Grotaarre Trees have tall trunks with sparse twig-like lower branches and thickening foliage toward the crown, whose flowers glow green-yellow year-round, reflecting light from the moons and mingling with the bioluminescent glowbugs that populate the forest floor. The result is a forest navigable at night by its own light.
The forest is most significant as the location of Arveshia's Gem altar, a hidden meadow of plain white flowers deep within the trees, at whose far end a black mist created by Arveshia herself concealed a small stone altar bearing a Skrrove statue and the Gem beneath a sealed inscription. Vaethu and Aeliave of Cavant A-Meftua lived in a cabin just past the altar and guarded it for decades until Anue Beidaka arrived in Book I.
