[Endrus Forest, Secluded Glade]
A score of ancient sana'ati trees stand like primeval guardians around this circular clearing, stretching their weathered boughs overhead in a protective canopy of scintillating green.

And I say it was of note because I recall it being extremely powerful. Something I, with what I know now, would never want to see it be used. But I also remember it was the first artifact I found which led me to start noticing my connection. So I think it's a good place to start."

Lexxa casually observes the area.

Mazilyn raises her hand.

Betlind nods.

Lexxa nods.

Asildu says, "That is the tricky part. When I finished studying the artifact, I was in a bit of a... state. So I don't recall it exact, though I suspect I could find it if I were to return to the general area. The problem is that... I can't accompany you."

Mazilyn gives her Truffenyi doll a little hug. Did the doll give her a little hug back?

Asildu says, "So the best I can offer are a few details that I have in my head that might help you locate it. After all, we are talking an artifact of the Heralds. Your presence near it is likely to draw attention. Which is why I don't dare be seen by them, near you, near it."

Lexxa nods to Asildu.

Lexxa says, "Ok."

Zersha gazes thoughtfully at Asildu.

Lexxa asks, "Is that all the clues you can share?"

Aemaranth asks Asildu in a melodic accent, "Do you remember climbing to get there?"

Mazilyn asks Asildu, "Were there creatures around it?"

Asildu says, "I recall it being southerly from here."

Zersha shades her eyes and gazes off to the south.
