Resting Place (CTD)
The Resting Place is part of the Great Forest and one of the relatively Stable Points of the Far Dreaming.
Overview
The Resting Place is, by long-standing tradition, the one area of the Great Forest when no one may harm another. One may kill game for sustenance, for there's always plenty of game. One may rest for as many days as one likes without fear of reprimand. Seelie and Unseelie alike respect and abide by this rule. Even the Thallain acknowledge the traditions, though some just barely.
Wounds heal faster here. Rain never falls and storms never rage. Although the Kithain might encounter ancient dragons known for their ill temper, they need not fear attack. It's not uncommon for travelers from different areas to band together and talk, sharing wine and companionship where they would normally attack each other on sight. Many even choose to stay in the Resting Place for months or years, for every burden and every woe seems less important to anyone dwelling there.
