the talons

"The Talons" is a name that refers to one of the more noteworthy groves studding Eaglewing Valley. The name is appropriate - if the plains are the vast wingspan of some unseen raptor, then this collection of gnarled, arthritic trees are its reaching claws. The Talons are situated on a bluff and, because of this, the wind beats at them mercilessly. Many of the trees are dead, but a few of the stooped over ones have been sheltered enough from the wind to keep their thin, drooping leaves. While this isn't an ideal place for the trees that inhabit it, the weeds thrive: several have grown to be over five feet tall, and their seeds feed a small host of hares and other creatures. The wind almost always blows from the west to the east, so if you're in the area for the night, it would be wise to take shelter on the east side of the trees.
