Birch Tree in the new headquarters of the
Society of the Morning Sunrise. The location was chosen by Arcuso,
its leader as although reasonably out of the way on the Shrike River it is actually at the most northerly point where that river is navigable south to Tuskwater and
Guilin.
The site was named for the single birch tree that grew there but this may soon change as Arcuso is hoping to hire
a druid to help him landscape the location.
Like the community as Silver Fall Wren has noted that, with a number of wealthy patrons, the dwellings being constructed for the Society's lakeside community are a good deal more luxurious than elsewhere in his nascent kingdom. In particular Arcuso has told him he intends to build a hypocaust to keep his
followers warm in winter. Although Arcuso seems unworried about the security of his new community Wren has noted that the location, on a bluff looking over the river, has defensive advantages should it ever be needed to be fortified. About 40 followers are camped with Arcuso and some have chosen to help the workmen construct buildings.
