The statue of Aviana in the Sanctum of G'Hanir.

The Sanctum of G'hanir is a small clearing in Darkheart Thicket. A wooden statue of Aviana and a small cabin are situated here. This is where the dungeon's first boss is encountered, Archdruid Glaidalis, a master druid.[1] Despite the Emerald Nightmare's success at corrupting much of Val'sharah, a small amount of the flora here has managed to resist its taint.

This area leads directly from The Rotten Grotto, and a long path takes you down to the Miasmic Gorge.

Notes

  • G'Hanir was a great tree shaped by Freya in the Emerald Dream. It was a source of healing and balance. The Wild God Aviana had a great connection with this tree, hence the appearance of her statue in this area.[2]
  • There is a staff in front of the shrine with no purpose. It is possible that this sanctum is (or was at one time) the shrine mentioned in N Druid [10-45] Meet with Mylune, though the staff is found in the Emerald Dream version of the Circle of Spirits a very short distance from the start of the quest. Both the Dreamgrove and this sanctum are under Shaladrassil.
