“This Sharlayan settlement stretches across the western banks of the Thaliak. Home to the Saint Mocianne Arboretum and a center for education and scholarly pursuits, it hearkens back to the cities of learning that flourished in bygone times.
The Answering Quarter is an area in The Dravanian Hinterlands, Dravania.
Landmarks
“This botanical garden built by the Sharlayans once was home to fauna and flora collected from across the realm, the study of which yielded numerous discoveries regarding our natural world. Sadly, it was abandoned in the exodus, the teeming life within left to run wild and unchecked.
— Heavensward Sightseeing Log 35: Saint Mocianne's Arboretum
“Saint Mocianne's Arboretum was once home to the greatest collection of flora and fauna the realm had ever known. Alas, in the wake of the Exodus it has since been abandoned, the teeming life within now roaming the halls with reckless abandon. A band of treasure hunters would pierce the heart of this leafy labyrinth in search of treasure, a treasure they claim would be a boon to Idyllshire. But will this savage garden yield fortune, or folly?
— In-game description
“The sudden emergence of a mud-covered and excessively energetic korpokkur from inside the Arboretum sparks interest among a trio of Idyllshire citizens. They believe the layer of grime covering the seedkin has invigorating properties that could be used to revitalize the soil of Greengrub Mudplots. Unfortunately, hordes of aggressive plant life exposed to the substance stand between them and the information they seek. You agree to lead an expedition into the Arboretum to clear a path and thereby allow safe passage to its inner reaches.
— In-game description
The Asulon's name indicates holy ground, and it was a place devoted to allowing the inquisitive mind to explore free from the obligations of everyday life. Once inside its doors, there was a decree commanding one to forget all titles and positions from the outside world—or so it is said.
Other locations
The Sage's Cataract
“As the Thaliak River stretches north towards the Orn Wild, it spills over this grand waterfall. In the past, students would compete to see who could swim closest to the cataract's edge without succumbing to its powerful torrents. A ban on entering the waters was eventually imposed after too many accidents.
