The frescos in the [[Inner Sanctum]] depict the legacy of the Emerald Grove. The first mural shows beasts and druids driving monsters out from their lands. With the monsters driven out, the druids claimed the grove in the name of [[Silvanus]], god of nature. | |||
However, it seems that their strife was not over. Referred to as the 'Darkest Hour', the druids entered a concord with the [[Harpers]] to fight 'the shade'. While their opponents are left ambiguous, the final victory fresco shows a Sharran helmet broken at their feet. This suggests that [[Shar]], or her followers, was involved. The mention of Moonrise might suggest that [[Selûne]] intervened as well. | |||
