A sacred natural place within Astraloftum where the druids of the Circle of Natu reside. The air is filled with the divine chirping of Avieres — celestial birds said to be musicians of the gods who accompany Druids on errands and aid in the preservation of the Grove.
Symphony of Ascension
An elaborate Soul-Shepherding ritual that can only be conducted once a full moon, when the veil between Natu and her lover Noctu is thinnest. The love between the Goddess and the demigod creates a powerful essence used to shepherd souls from people who have died on Astraloftum, depositing them deep into the Great Natu Tree until Paradise is found again.
The Grove is closed off to all visitors during the ritual and a protective barrier is raised. The movement of souls attracts Lunar Demons to the tree, which the Druids fend off. The ritual involves Sylvan chanting in tune with Aviere whistling and the playing of ancient instruments crafted from the wood of the Great Natu Tree.
