In the New Moon Forest there is a camp ground situated in-between Silverfall, The Distiller and the Mirror Necropolis. For all travelers heading towards The Distiller and all adventurers on their way to the Mirror Necropolis, the New Moon Camp is an important venue for rest and supplies.

The Distiller Tavern

Some people think that there are three things to visit in the Aslan valley – The wood sea in the Jade Valley, the lake of Eternal Silence’s Silverfall and the Distiller Tavern in the New Moon Forest. But what kind of place is the Distiller Tavern? Take a building created by human hands and mix it with unfathomable nature and a pinch of adventurous spirit.

In the Distiller Tavern you can experience all of the following: wild binge drinking, mugs full of alcohol, opulent meals, fair bards, noisy guests, heated chambers, all kinds of wild rumors and wavering drunkards. In one corner they start to fight, while they argue so loudly in the next corner about an alleged theft, that you can not have a normal discussion. The black market trader at the corner table sells “lost” goods, while beefy adventurers still tend to their weapons. The Distiller Tavern has a sense of danger inside and out. People have a feeling of anticipation and excitement. Is that not the meaning of “adventure”?

Mirror Necropolis

The Mirror Necropolis is very old, but was discovered only recently. Seemingly a curse haunts the place though. Everybody who comes to close will be struck with disaster. At the moment, the Eye of Wisdom is not sure if investigating it is the right thing to do. Some of its members think that it might be a site, where ancient magic was sealed and careless rummage would cause great harm.

On the Mirror Necropolis’ stone walls, crystals glisten and reflect every picture like mirrors. But since there is no life to be found anywhere nearby, it became known as the Mirror Necropolis. The caves in its center are most likely of natural origin, but there is an artificial atmosphere and rumors swirl around that many a visitor went insane and died down there.

The Jade valley

Thousands of years ago a meteorite fell down from the sky changing the soil in this area. The plants can reach tremendous proportions and are the reason behind the Jade valley’s name.

Because humans still have no idea of space, they worship this holy place and conceive the plants as a manifestation of divine and inexhaustible vital energy. The Jade valley is the crater of a meteorite which formed a basin in the middle of the mountains. From the air you can sense the dense green which surrounds this place with interwoven briarwood in its centre, which is called the Deep Aisle.

The Deep Aisle

In the middle of the Jade valley grows an old Banyan tree right on the spot, where the meteorite impacted. It was exposed to the full extent of the cosmic power, and became unbelievably majestic, with giant aerial roots clawing into the ground. Most people don’t even realize that the forest in front of them is one single tree, which is mistakenly referred to as a forest and also called the Deep Aisle.

Basically the Deep Aisle is a green tunnel, where a leaf ceiling covers the whole sky. Only some rays of light make it through to illuminate the foliagecovered ground. All this green can be quite surreal, especially when the foliage whispers, it fills the whole area is with a mysterious atmosphere.

The Origin

The more you advance into the Deep Aisle, the bigger everything becomes. For that reason it is said to be a holy tree, which has existed since the world’s beginning. Even more mysterious though is the cavern beneath it. It looks as if the tree’s roots keep an underground space clear. In the great cave some things can be found, which are apparently not of natural origin. Inferring from the roots growth the cave must have been there even before the Holy Tree, which is why it is called the “Origin”. Actually the cave was created by ancient mythical beings and in it the “Holy Truth” was stored. Later on all the knowledge was lost with the disappearance of the mythical beings. What kind of relation does that knowledge have with the oracle? Is it the oracle itself? Nobody knows for sure.
