Why the Name Matters
In Glowveil Hollow, every creature carries a name that ties it to the ancient song of the woods. Knowing the true name of the bird that greets the dusk lets the listener hear the forest’s memory.
Where the Bird Sings
At the very edge of the hollow, where the mist meets the pine, a single oak stands. Its branches cradle the bird, and its song ripples over the water.
Listening for the Name
Close your eyes, breathe with the wind, and let the notes settle. The pattern repeats: three soft trills, a pause, then a bright rise. The rhythm spells out the name in the language of the trees.
The True Name
Silvraeth – a blend of “silva” (forest) and “raeth” (song). Speak it gently, and the bird will answer with a chorus that guides travelers through the night.
