Whisperwood, a forest said to be home to capricious gnomes, pixies, and other fey.

The Skinsaw Murders, p 19.

Favored home of Honeypot, who is working on building a magical place of music, dance and love here:

The Retreat

The Tree House

Not so much a house as a collection of platforms, baskets, stairs and walkways running around and through the living wood of an enormous oak.

The Paths

Five paths meanders through the garden, paved with richly-colored woods, rocks, various sorts of gravel and flat stones. Each bend and corner in the paths reveal a new view; a beautiful water reflection, a lush and rich bed of plants, an ornate marble pavillion, faint colored lights dancing between tree branches, pieces of music carried by the wind, or just a trace of a sweet, sun-warm scent.

The Baths

The baths are rock and sand-bottomed pools of clear water, furnished from close-by springs. Open pagodas around the pools provides places for relaxation and contemplation.

The Dance Stage

A built-up, shallow amphitheater surrounds a round marble stage. Water from a dam above the stage can be used to submerge it for water acrobatics.

The Ritual Library

A temple-like pillar hall is the repository for various rituals, together with large, open floors for practice and study.
