Nimue: The Great Tree

< < < Return to Main Page

The physical structure of the Wildwood Academy is a great central tree trunk easily twice or thrice the size of the largest sequoia, with papery white and black bark surrounded by a grove of seven satellite trees half the size of the main tree bound together with walkways of woven boughs. All the trees are live and magically hollowed from within.

All trees below described from root to crown moving upwards.

Central Trunk (birch or alder)

The root cluster of the central trunk houses the kitchen and pantries of the school.

The feast hall is housed on the ground level of the tree.

Above the feast hall is the great hall and the headmaster's office and quarters.

Above this are layers of core classrooms on several levels with the library still higher and the observatory above the library.
