Stone Stand
Town in The Silver Marches
Stone Stand is an ancient stone circle in the High Forest, sacred to the Tree Ghost and Blue Bear tribes of the Uthgardt, with an oak grown from a cutting of the Grandfather Tree at its heart.
Two rings of lintel-capped menhirs, older than the tribes and carved with the symbols of forgotten nature gods, surround a tall oak at the heart of the circle.

Overview
The Uthgardt are the barbarian tribes of the North, each named after its totem animal and each keeping an ancestral mound: a sacred site where its dead are honoured and its rites are held.
Stone Stand lies in the High Forest, with the Nether Mountains to the north-east. Its menhir rings predate the Uthgardt and bear the symbols of many nature deities; at the centre grows a tall oak from a cutting of the Grandfather Tree. Our map marks it as a settlement, but it is a holy place.
