The monks of Acholm have discovered a queer place in the forests of dark trees south of the realm of Östlaed. They seek to protect other such magical forests and meadows, and seek the help of other realms of the Empire in their endeavour with the Order of Groenewardon

Purpose

~ Guard the magical places of the world: Many magical forests, meadows, glens, and streams exist in our fair world. Some of these contain a magic that is mysterious, enlightening, and sometimes dangerous. This Order within the Empire would seek to ward away those who would disrespect the magic of these places.

~ Community: Providing places for those of magical minds to protect the plants and animals of this magical planet.

~ Diversify: By building means of protecting rare trees, rare plants, and rare animals, our Order can spread a greater variety of plant and animal life bringing magical living things to the rest of Hermertia.

Glad to see this has become a reality.

This will be invaluable in protecting and cultivating our natural beauty.

The first protected colony of Mooshrooms and giant Mushrooms has been established in Arah, Laghima. This is now a sacred place to the Order of Groenewardon.

A new species of tree was discovered in Dawnstar in A.I. 508.

Scholars from Östlaed arrived on a Snekkja based on rumors from Aethen traders in Acholm telling of a conifer with a white bark. They have named this tree the "White Fir." They expect that the Elves of Port Kaltamarri will designate this a sacred place and protect it in the traditions of the Order.
