Sacred Woodland
Sacred Tragen Grove
A densely wooded grove at the heart of Traken, its ancient trees gnarled with silver bark that shimmers faintly in the dim light filtering through the canopy. The air hums with the dissonant chorus of unnatural silence—no birds call, no insects stir, only the oppressive weight of something wrong pressing down on the foliage. The grove’s underbrush is trampled by recent passage, evidence of the forces now occupying this once-holy space. Twilight lingers here, trapped between the gnarled branches like smoke unable to rise. The Doctor and Adric step into this arrested time, the sudden confrontation with armed Fosters forcing them from curiosity into confrontation as the planet’s unraveling feels closer than ever.
