Tree Shrine.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth.
A comforting feeling of privacy pervades the area. Here you find
yourself on a suspended platform in the tree branches which holds a
beautiful sight. The platform has been transformed into a stunning
grove, grass and shrubs growing from mounds of earth. Fragrant climbing
flowers spread a heady scent and twist away into the boughs around the
platform. In the centre of the platform is a wondrous statue, carved
from a solid, single piece of dark wood. It depicts an achingly
beautiful young women with flowing hair and delicate features being held
in a protective embrace by an equally stunning depiction of Gaia, the
EarthMother. Both have expressions of pure peace and serenity. At the
base of the statue is a plaque which reads 'Galadriel, our eternal
thanks, may your sleep be ever restful and your memory everlasting'.
Festive boughs of holly are decked out in your surroundings. Bright red
berries peek out from the holly. A sprig of mistletoe has been hung

A pathfinder chaos entity concentrates for a moment. Suddenly your
surroundings blur, and when vision returns to normal, you recognise that
you have travelled far quicker than the capacity of any mortal.
Southern Docklands.
A smattering of clouds fills the sky, lacing it with spiderwebs of grey.

Sun places her hands onto a corpse. A glowing substance flows out of the
body. With a guesture from her hands it flares brightly and is settles
down into the shape of a glowing spear.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed that as much as I did. Could you not feel
the evil glee as the druids in their eagle morphs proudly fled? The
sweet coppery taste of victory as righteous blood sprayed? Feel the
pride as you couldn't help but grin at the cold sweat and teary
terrified stares?

Merry Sartanmas, everybody.
