:Coiling its way upwards from the base of the tree, a spiral staircase of pale, petrified wood links the upper and lower levels of the sacred Elm. The staircase is barred on either side by a banister of the same wood, left in its natural gnarled condition rather than being molded to befit some angular formation. The shrine at the upper level of the Elm, where Mehtere resides, is decorated with countless white candles casting a gentle glow over its darkened interior. They appear on either side of a long walkway down the center aisle, between rows of white pews that rise up from the floor as part of the very Elm itself. Around the room are columns of pale, petrified wood, twisted artfully like a screw so that it resembles a cyclone in nature. The dome ceiling stretches high overhead, scalloped terraces carved out from the bark in tiers appearing along the side walls. Upon them sit dozens of the white candles, some more melted than others, but all contributing their own illumination. At the head of the room is a small altar, inscribed with the phrase "Only a life lived for Nature is a life worthwhile." Roots, leaves, and other wild plants grow from the base of the altar, spreading across the far wall and stretching upwards.

*'''The Edelharn Stone''' - The Edelharn is a great stone monolith that rests in the center of the Primordial Grove as if some ancient sentinel. The monolith is a slanted, roughly triangular block with its heavier end pointed outwards. The rock is old, discoloured to a brownish-gray in hue, and large cracks run through its sides. It sits on a circular granite base, providing the suggestion of it being able to revolve, an implication which seems highly doubtful, as evidenced by its dilapidated and crumbled state. Every once in awhile, the stone seems to sigh wistfully, which could almost be attributed to the breeze filtering through the cracks in its surface. It weighs about 3250 pounds.
