Shrine of Shelyn
This magnificently ancient oak grove in the Ivy District Park is a site sacred to Shelyn, goddess of beauty, love, and art, and serves as a temple for her faithful in the district. Rose bushes cleverly pruned in artistic designs surround the oaks, and an immaculate pond filled with crystal-clear water marks the center of the clearing. Regal swans glide along the pond’s surface, and above it, a single rose is suspended mid-air through magical means. The rose changes colors with the seasons—white for winter, yellow for spring, fiery orange for summer, and rust red for autumn.
An important site for district residents, the shrine is frequented by artists and performers seeking new inspiration, as well as lovers seeking Shelyn’s blessing. Painters and musicians can always be found nearby, creating art inspired by the goddess’s captivating beauty.
Shelyn’s clergy, led by high priestess Eleena Woodsong, tend to the shrine and listen attentively to anyone seeking their counsel, providing relationship advice to couples and suggestions and encouragement to local artists. They also perform marriage ceremonies inside the grove for those the clerics believe hold the true love of Shelyn within their hearts.
