Saintsgrove

From PathfinderWiki

Saintsgrove is a small area of ancient olive trees in the south-east of the county of Sinaria, in Ustalav, lying near the southern banks of Lake Prophyria, and to the south-east of Karcau.1

Legends speak of a priestess of Urgathoa who performed a sacrilegious ceremony to transform herself into a Daughter of Urgathoa at this spot, perverting a shrine of Desna and sacrificing the followers of the Song of the Spheres as part of her ritual. Such blasphemy apparently stirred Desna to direct action against the priestess by immediately ageing the olive trees by a thousand years trapping the blasphemer and preventing her ritual from succeeding, while providing a grave for her dead worshippers.2
