Known within as "Noamh Gàrradh", The Sacred Grove is the name of the living forest within the Mistwood Lakes and a home gathering point for the druidic community of the city. While a simple five square miles of land, the Grove also is home to a humongous variety of fauna and fern whose balance is carefully maintained by its denizens with which all live in happy symbiosis. This delicate balance is maintained with the utmost fervor and the private and notoriously reclusive druids of the city rarely seek to interact with their more urban neighbors. Rather they govern the micro-realm they call home, choosing to manage affairs privately but helping others as a good neighbor should.

The heads of each druid circle (8 in total) meet below the boughs of an enormous willow tree simply known as "The Great Willow". The drooping vines are so thick the deeper one goes that not even insects can pass through without magical assistance; so much the better to protect from eavesdropping.

The Circle regards politics with much disdain, favoring more pragmatic and practical approaches to problems and are often seen as conservative/cautious in regards to their wider interactions with the world. Nevertheless, when their political decisions are called for, the Grove is able to unite as a strong bloc; they have used a banner of 7 circles within a circle which surrounds a blossoming flower to communicate their unity to outsiders.

Citizens of course are free to wander within the realm of the Grove but are cautioned that the Druids and nature rule the grove, not the City Watch. Prospective initiates that look to shed the complications of city life to join a Druid circle may find the living to be dangerous and hard (perhaps lethal).
