🌕I. Sacred Roles of the Priestesses

Each priestess walks a unique spiritual path. Here are a few defined roles within the hidden village:

1. The Luminae (Lightbearers):
   Keepers of the enchanted lanterns, they walk the village at dusk, whispering blessings into the lights that guide both spirit and soul.
2. The Virelais (Song Weavers):
   These priestesses maintain the ancient chants that echo through the forest. Their voices awaken prophecies hidden in the streams.
3. The Verdensae (Tree Whisperers):
   Guardians of the sacred roots, they communicate with Yggdrasil’s memory, tending to the spiritual health of the village through communion with the forest.
4. The Serenthi (Heart Watchers):
   They welcome weary souls at the village gates and guide them with gentle counsel and healing rituals drawn from stardust, herbs, and memory.
5. The Nithalyn (Shadow Readers):
   Mystics who read the silhouettes cast by starlight and flame, helping uncover truths hidden deep within visitors—and sometimes, each other.

II. The Sisters’ Haven: “The Hollow Hearth”

A sacred space not for indulgence—but for communion, laughter, and soulful nourishment.

Name: The Hollow Hearth

Location: Nestled inside a moss-covered hill behind a willow grove, beneath a root arch twined with glowing blossoms. The interior is shaped like a tree’s inner trunk—circular, warm, naturally lit by fireflies and softly glowing crystal-veined bark.

Purpose:

A sanctuary where the priestesses come not to serve, but simply to be. They gather here to rest their voices, share soft tales, and enjoy life’s gentler delights without titles or roles.

Offerings:

• Moonleaf Tea (calms the mind and kindles dreams)
• Stardrop Nectar (refreshing elixir that tastes of early spring rain)
• Crimsonroot Flatbread (earthy and nourishing, topped with ember herbs)
• Silversilk Dumplings (delicate and filled with twilight mushrooms)
• Sunberry Glaze Cakes (a sweet treat that hums with memory)

No drinks here are intoxicating—each is designed to restore, to remind, and to gently ground the spirit.

Rituals of the Hearth:

• Sharing “spirit echoes” (brief chants or memories that stirred them that week)
• Offering silence as a gift
• Laughing freely, for joy is sacred too

🌸The Hollow Hearth – A Sanctum Beneath the Boughs

Tucked within the heartwood of the sacred village, entwined beneath the ancient roots of Yggdrasil, lies a sanctuary known only to those who walk with reverence—The Hollow Hearth.

Here, the flicker of enchanted lanterns reflects not off polished stone, but bark and bloom. This is no tavern, no mere gathering place. The Hearth is a sacred refuge, carved by time and spirit, where priestesses, seekers, and wanderers gather to breathe deeply and remember who they are beneath the noise of the world.

Though its doors are always warm to women of all paths, men may only enter by sacred invitation—an honor granted sparingly and only through the direct blessing of Noloty, the High Priestess of Yggdrasil. Her word is law, her intuition infallible.

Each drink, each delicate dish, is more than sustenance—it is ritual.

Noloty herself designed the Hearth’s offerings, infusing every elixir and bite with ancient blessings, celestial energy, and a deep respect for balance and restoration. When her duties draw her beyond the village, the lead priestesses she personally anointed take her place with grace and care, continuing her legacy with unwavering devotion.

The atmosphere is quiet but never silent—filled with the soft murmur of stories, laughter between sisters, and the serene hum of ancestral magic that lives within the walls. Here, bonds are nourished, grief is softened, and joy is sacred.

The Hollow Hearth is not meant to impress—it is meant to heal.

And for those lucky few who are permitted to step within its rootbound heart, it becomes a place not easily forgotten.
