The members of this guild are the best-trained warriors and magic users, on par or above all others on Keverynn. The guild itself is surrounded by the Green, an impenetrable forest, maintained by those with the powers and affinity to work with plants.

The valley it resides in is roughly oval in shape. At the poles of the glade are the barracks where its members reside. In the center is the Gather Hall. Beside it is the Grandmaster’s residence.

Each Sister has their own room in their respective barracks. The rooms are small, but large enough for one to live comfortably. The contain a single bed, a dresser, a closet in one wall covered by a hanging, and a bookshelf. The walls are generally painted white, but the room’s occupant may redecorate to suit their tastes. The furniture may also be moved.

The Green

The Green is, to the ordinary and untrained eye, merely a thick clump of trees around the valley. It is so much more, however. It has limited sentience and is one of the few things that protected the Sisterhood from attack.

In it's prime, it was a magnificent forest of oak trees. After the fall of the Sisterhood, the trees became warped beyond recognition, into unnatural contortions. If the trees had been human, it could be said that the contortions were because of some great agony they’d been put through.

The Green has limited sentience and is able to defend itself to some extend, but it can only defend from one thing at a time. If you were to split an army into different groups and have them attack different locations at the same time, it would only be able to deflect one.

No one realized this one flaw in the Green; most of the sisters didn’t even know about it. The Grandmasters all knew, naturally, but it’s not something you want spread about. Until a particularly intelligent Darkrider by the name of Khallil the Great came to the fore, it was a very well-guarded secret. He was an expert strategist, having ridden, at that point, almost all of the five wyvern colors. At the time of the fall of the Sisterhood, he had a white for a mount. He kept throwing his forces at the Green until he figured out the full extent of its intelligence. That was the beginning of the end for the Sisterhood.

It can speak in a sense to anyone who has the Gift using simple words and pictures.
