Noah yawned quietly as he stood among his friends.
They had been inside the World Tree's territory for quite some time now, and Eldrian was once again giving them a detailed explanation about the sacred tree, its history, and its importance to the elves.
For the students, it was supposed to be an educational experience.
For Noah, it was slowly turning into a very peaceful nap opportunity.
Near the base of the World Tree was a large open area surrounded by carefully maintained grass and flowers. Several stone platforms had been placed there, along with small shrines and carved pillars bearing ancient elven symbols.
This was one of the places where ordinary people were permitted to come and pray.
The students had first been allowed to walk around the enormous trunk and observe the World Tree from up close.
And up close it was simply overwhelming. The security around it was equally impressive.
Elven soldiers were stationed everywhere.
