Brenhines Wen

Brenhines Wen, the White Queen, grows deep in Selcouth forest. A white Birch of great age and beauty, she rises in a majestic pillar towards the sky, even as her weeping boughs sweep back to the earth again. She is a tree of ethereal loveliness, and some say mystical power. Look there among her gnarled and ancient roots and you will see offerings left there by the peasants and villagers. It is said that if one sleeps in her shadow, Brenhines Wen will grant the sleeper lucid and prophetic dreams... but beware. If She does not accept your offering, you may never wake, and shall walk in the dreamland forever. The common folk believe her to be home to the Bendith Y Mamau, the fae folk of Wales, and so give her great honor and offerings on holy days, but give her a wide berth the rest of the time, lest they be drawn into the otherworld. Some swear they have seen the Will o’ the Wisp dancing in her branches, while others have sworn they have heard the howling of the Cwn Annwn, the death dogs, and seen their shadows creeping across her roots
