Feather Spring

The exact location of this spring is known only to the Druids of Immer Grove, but some outsiders make it a goal to make a pilgrimage to this site. The spring itself is not magical, but it is home to a Giant Owl who is said to give a boon to those who experience hardship in order to visit with him. He asks only for a single feather he has never seen. While no one has ever managed to present such a feather, he will still grant his boon to any who struggle to find him, so long as they are friendly. A small, and not entirely friendly, cult has formed around finding a feather he has never seen in order to deliver it and get what they believe will be a very powerful artifact.

The individuals that endeavor to find the spring are watched over by the druids to ensure their safety within the forest. They never intercede to help the pilgrim, but have been known to safely lead travelers out of the forest should they become lost, or even healing them if they become injured. This is as much for the druids themselves as for the pilgrims. The druids use it as a training exercise of their own, sending young druids to watch silently and put their skills with nature to the test so as to remain unnoticed within their home-wood. They also ensure the pilgrims can't harm the owl, although this part of the task is always performed by an experienced druid.

Most of these pilgrims come from Sifsted, where they already live close to the forest, though they have been known to come from much farther away.
