The Hollowing Oak

A vast hollow ancestor-tree in the Greatwood, older than the Imperium, where the tribes hang their bone-charms.

The Greatwood closes dark and wet west of the vale, and at its heart stands the Hollowing Oak — broad enough to bury a wagon in its trunk, hung with bone-charms and faded ribbon. The Asheni say the first ancestors went into it and did not come out.
