As our clan began to grow, we quickly outgrew the area around the Mountain Temple of the Winged Goddess. Lady Kia and her clan, in attempting to enlarge the space, discovered an instability in the stone, making it unsafe for our clan to remain there. She also rebuilt her own keep, to take advantage of other aspects of the force bound in that rocky peak.

At first, we were placed in the Forest Grove, but I convinced her that the area invited encroachment by the curious, and offered no protection  for our clan. So we were moved to an abandoned hall, once belonging to the Silver Falls clan, on the edge of the forest. The area is a delight, having both the forest to find our herbals there, and the meadows where we grow a surplus, for trade, in medicinals and food. And plenty of room for our Beast Mistress, Lady Korlandra, to train and care for our herd-clan of Rancor, led by Frad, the one I am bonded to.

The hall, renamed the House of Healing, has a main room, that we have converted into a healers hall, where we can both practice our arts, research into ancient and new adaptions of our Force Spirits' magic, and prepare our hebals and medicines. Behind this are two rooms, for a library, and an office of the clan operations. Above is an area for celebration and defensive training, as well as a dormatory room, for the young acolytes, not yet dedicated.

Beyond these, rise the Towers of Service, one for each of the dedications: Healers, Wardens, and Ambassadors. And even a Tower for me, a place that, as I grow into the position of High Mother of our clan, I can extend and perfect our craft, for the benefit of all Dathomir.

Hope to start sending the ambassadors out soon, to seek new sisters to train, and to investigate some of the mysteries of the recent rumours, the unrest that is spreading, and the news of an ancient keep in a nearby valley, but few clues as to it's actual location. Lady Tirza was the one who discovered the reference to it.

As we continue here, more incidences are arising regarding the hostilities toward witches. Tresspassers have been upsetting both the Rancor, and some of our more fragile sisters. Challenges to our right to dignity and authority over our land grant have placed us at odds with the Nightsisters, the Sith, and the Jedi. It has even risen to the level of assualt. It seems, unless we go against our most basic concepts, and display force for it's own sake, they will never respect or include us. I will meditate on it, and seek guidance. - Blessings, Lessa
