The Shard of Love
From OakthorneWiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe Shard of Love is very far away, yet very close. You just fly into the sky, towards a feeling, and you are there. It's a small realm for now. But it will grow.
The Demesnes
- The Gates of Woe: Where newcomers arrive.
- The Gates of Bliss: Where those who have had all the time and help necessary to cope and move on may depart to other realms if and when they choose.
- The Boughs of Tenderness: For those in need of solace. Everything here is comfortable whether it be the climate, the ground, or the pillowed benches. The bees create soothing honey, and the buzz of their wings lulls and eases. Pomegranates grow in abundance, and they are fat and juicy and calming. The custodians are always willing to sit and listen, and they give great hugs.
- Fountain of the Betrothed: For those seeking to be reunited with lost spouses or looking for closure after failed relationships.
- The Garden of Lingering Sentiment: For those who need to learn to let go of the things that hold them back.
- The Pool of Devotion: For the spurned and those who wrestle with feelings of dishonesty and betrayal. They may wade into the pool's waters and vanish beneath its surface, where they may find solitude and inner reflection.
- Love's Eternal Flame: Love is eternal. No matter how sad one may be, no matter the suffering or loss, one may only look to see that the flame continues to burn, because love can never die, never be put out. When you are ready, it is still there, pure and infinite.
- The Chapel of Love Lost (and Passion's Upper and Lower Portico): At the heart of the Shard of Love is the Chapel of Love Lost, where the weeping goddess Erollisi Marr mourns in solitude.

The new Keeper who has awoken with the Shard of Love. She maintains and directs the happenings of the Shard while Kailon handles events on the mortal plane. | A wistful stillness manifested as the softest bunny ever. Like ever ever. Petting her helps quiet your mind, allowing you to think more clearly. | A fragile melancholy sadness manifested as a small deer that feels very, very good to the soul to pet, like the relief that comes after a good hard cry. |
