Grove of the Moon
The Grove of the Moon is a grove tied to the trials of the Servants of the Moonlit Circle. Close to it lies a wyvern nest, home to a fey-touched breed of wyvern. There the company holds the trial of the sting, one of the three trials of the Lunara through which nominees are initiated; the sting of these wyverns can infuse those who survive it with fey energies.1
Who may be found there
Several mercenaries can be found at the grove. Archdruid Perildien Elderwood, the spiritual leader of the Servants, and Vaness Von’frevein are found there.2
Others divide their time between the grove and other places: Kaldor and Yortkul Grootlegiggles between the grove and Rampart Row; Leylanda and Nicklaus the Gray Fox between the grove, Rampart Row and small towns; Lachland between the grove and taverns; and Esther of the Bluelands between the grove and large towns.3
