Mythology

The Grotto of the Butterfly is a mystical place in which thousands upon thousands of butterflies reside. Its location is unknown to all but the most dedicated explorers of Achaea. However, it is known that as a child, the butterfly collector Vellis stumbled across this place, and it is then that his love of butterflies began.

The Green Lady Demeter was also known to be quite fond of butterflies. She created The Land of Butterflies in Her temple within the Aerinewild as a sanctuary for these beloved creatures.

During the time of the spiritual landmarks, adventurers caught morning cloak butterflies and duskywing butterflies to turn the Garden landmark to positive or negative aspects, respectively.
