Overview

Starling Grove (Enchiridian, Furytongue: Kashaduru \ˈkɑʃəˌduːru\, meaning fragrant circle), also known as The Coin Bearer, gets its name from its realm form of a silvery forest.

Lore about the Starling Grove is rare and incomplete. It comes primarily from the dragons and immortals who have had interactions with the titan.

History

Starling Grove was a titan in the Lost Age who was subsequently imprisoned by the Founders, like all titans, in the Foundation War during the First Age. It has remained imprisoned ever since.

Description

Realm Form: An endless forest with features based on core traits:
- Fragrant winds from orchids that cover the colorful trees
- Rivers of ink that run into black lakes
- Silver coins that grow like fruit on the trees
Avatar Form: A massive humanoid form with the head of an owl with black feathers and deep black eyes. The head has curving black horns like a ram. Its arms and legs are long and thin bundles of black vines. It wears a cloak that flows like inky liquid. It wears a giant silver coin as a medallion.

 =Description=
-Starling Grove's realm form is a thick and sprawling forest. Notable features of this forest include silverwood trees, which are dark grey trees with veins of silver and quicksilver sap. Many trees produce flowers with vibrant colors that exude heady and intoxicating fragrances. The water that flows in the forest is ink-black, though it does not stain like ink. Some trees have clusters of coins for leaves.
