Green Vault (Green Church Holy Ground)
The Green Church’s typical Sacred Place of the Wylden, no matter the measure of the States of Grace (holy ground) or size, consists of natural colors, textures, patterns and geometry. IT is referred to as a “Green Vault“, reflecting a natural cave habitat, or the den of an animal. It often is domed, and typically smells of rain and earth, and plants are everywhere.
They are often beautifully painted, with the specific themes and motifs changing each year or two (reflecting the changing season cycles) with new paint work both outside and inside. There is always some formal altar, even in the most basic shrine. Each of the main three deities has their own small chapel. All maintain a large garden, allowing those impoverished to harvest from it or eat from the soup made daily.
The largest Green Vault‘s sit on a larger patch of land, and may have a Beastwood or Briarwood. As well, the Beastwoods and Briarwoods within within towns and cities will often have these integrated in them – these edifices are for housing the clergy and supplies & services for their followers.
More Common in Central and Southern Heartlands: In the Central Heartlands and Southern Heartlands, the Green Vault is found more often to mark the presence of the Green Faith in a civilized settlement, not a Briarwood or Beastwood as is more likely in the Northern Heartlands and Hinterlands.
