Sacred Arbor is an elven village in Vermund, hidden deep in the forest far to the north of Vernworth and reached only by a long walk from the capital's western gate. It is built around the Arborheart, the great sacred tree at the centre of elven life, and is known for its own language and the Archer maister skill taught here.

Sacred Arbor Lore and History
The elves keep to themselves and prefer not to deal with humans or Beastren, and most of them speak only Elvish. Their words stay unreadable unless the party includes a pawn with the Woodland Wordsmith specialization, which can be learned from the Woodland Wordsmith's Tome given by Kough, the innkeeper, once her affinity is high enough.
Taliesin, the Arborist, leads the elves of the arbor. He is the father of Glyndwr and Doireann and the Archer maister who teaches Heavenly Shot. Doireann tends the Arborheart, and when the tree begins to sicken she looks beyond the forest for a cure.
Sacred Arbor Quests
A Trial of Archery, begun with Glyndwr in Vernworth, brings the Arisen to the Sacred Arbor for Glyndwr's archery trial, where Taliesin reveals that Doireann has been abducted; the quest is timed, and she can be lost if the rescue comes too late. Once she is safe, Doireann starts The Ailing Arborheart beneath the great tree, seeking the nourishing soil the elves call gwyfencha, a search that leads to the dwarven smith Brokkr in Bakbattahl. Out of the Forest, Into the Forge continues the story: Brokkr will part with his Scalecinder only for nutriabh, an elven dish the dwarves prize, which Doireann cooks from rotten ingredients.
In the Unmoored World, Glyndwr starts Wandering Roots, one of the evacuation quests of Halls of the First Dawn. Taliesin refuses to leave until the Arisen proves the Arborheart can flourish elsewhere by planting a cutting of it at the Seafloor Shrine.
