The Chosen Grove started as a hidden location, where a scant few knew of the sacred tree that grew in its center. The ancient plant, called Candu Nimid by the nearest village of Elves, was rumored to be the first tree on Itharia. Certainly its size was imposing, and the mystical veil that hung upon that grove was to be found nowhere else in the world.

Then the summoning stone was found. How it came to inhabit the tree, the Elves could not say, but one day a band took refuge in the grove, and to their amazement, saw the tree watching them. Most of those present that day believed themselves to be in the presence of a god, and who is to say they were wrong? Since the discovery of the tree’s awakening, it has been renamed Eldiri Nimid, and numerous followers have flocked to it, desiring to guard it, tend to it, and in some cases worship it. This following is now called the Chosen Grove, and they follow the directives of the sacred tree, preparing for a time they call the Scattering.
