The Urr Grove is a wondrous garden located within the Eastern Nolmine Mountains. Although not technically a newbie area, the Grove serves as a relatively peaceful location for adventurers, with the local butterfly collector, Haren, offering a net to those wishing to catch butterflies for coin.

Geography

The Urr Grove is unique given its lush environment located amidst the rocky Nolmine Mountains. The gardens are mostly circular in design, with a magical fountain located at its centre. Paths weave through through the garden, providing easy walking.

There are few man-made structures within Urr Grove, with even the Grove's sole two huts being made entirely out of fallen tree branches. The only exception to this are a single shrine devoted to Lianthe, Lady of the Waters and a wooden trebuchet.

Culture

Little violence is seen within the Urr Grove, despite its precarious location amidst the harsh mountains. The inhabitants welcome all to their Grove and discourage violence. The leader of the Grove's inhabitants, Sisala, the Beautiful Sidhe Druid, is said to have come across the grove and its magical fountain during a storm and was protected within the Grove by it. Since that day, both she and her sister, Entrila, have tended to the grove's needs.

Inhabitants

  • Sisala, the Beautiful Sidhe Druid
  • Entrila, a young druid
  • Haren, a gentle butterfly researcher
  • A tired goblin messenger.

Flora and Fauna

The most common animal found within the grove are its numerous species of butterflies, for which the grove is most well known for. Adventurers are often seen collecting them for Haren.
