Lake's Halo

A place of extraordinary mystery, in the middle of a vast lake sits an island. No ordinary patch of land, this island holds what some call the World Tree - far larger than any can imagine, it towers out from a dense fog and seems to have a pull of its own, inviting those who see it to utter long-unspoken prayers. At the base of this tree is a small hollow, wherein two skeletal bodies lay entwined in an everlasting embrace, overgrown with flowers and ivy as the earth slowly takes them. None can stay too long, however, almost as if it curses those who loiter; conjuring strange apparitions and turning local wildlife hostile toward any who might linger past their welcome. This place is unclaimable, but its purpose is truly magical in nature.
