The Temple of the Arlen
Overview
An ancient temple of grey stone clinging to a hillside between two steep gorges, the Temple of the Arlen is the final destination of the pilgrims who walk the Dragantwood road. For centuries its keepers have tended the sacred spring and the gentle arlen who dwell there, offering cleansing and healing to those the forest's magic has touched. Of late, a held-breath quiet has settled over its halls.

The Cleansing
The Ranger's ReturnThorn carries the ether-poisoned Pemberton into the Temple of the Arlen, where Sister Vetali and the gentle arlen Moss work to draw the sacred water's magic out of him before it remakes his flesh. Amid the incense and the quiet, Thorn feels just how much the temple has changed under Darson Colden — and comes face to face with a ghost from his soldiering days.

The Warden of Dragantwood
The Ranger's ReturnIn the storm's wake Thorn carries the pool's fire to the Temple of the Arlen for a final reckoning with Darson Colden — to free the guardian held in his own sanctuary, to face what has been done to his old comrade, and to answer for the dead. By the end, the man who wanted only to leave the forest has become its warden at last.
