Fan art of the Birthheart, by Kent Davis.[art 1]
The Abundant Terrace is the district of Vasselheim devoted to the worship of the Wildmother.[1] Located in the western part of the city,[2] it consists mostly of wooded areas and farmland, and provides most of the food for Vasselheim. Various enchantments in the district keep the weather mild, allowing for year-long harvests from its orchards.[3] Here at dawn on Highsummer, the holy day of Pelor, chiles are added to freshly harvested honey and corn to make a polenta.[4]
The Abundant Terrace is the location of the Seed of Rebirth, a tree which legend says was planted by the Wildmother, the sister tree to the Arbor Exemplar in the Barbed Fields of Xhorhas.[5]
History[]
Campaign One: Vox Machina[]
In "Loose Ends" (1x84), Vox Machina brought the remains of Senokir's wife to be buried beneath a tree in the Abundant Terrace.
Campaign Three: Bells Hells[]
In 843 PD, after a meeting in the Platinum Sanctuary, Keyleth brought Bells Hells and Evoroa to the Birthheart. Orym kneeled down in front of the Seed of Rebirth and had a communion with the Wildmother. Orym's sword Seedling, which was placed between the roots of the tree, was enhanced by the Wildmother and became a Relic of the Red Solstice.[6]
Notable locations[]
