The Conservatory
The Conservatory is an ever-expanding world shared by all esk. It is a surreal environment made of crystalline structures and shifting environments. Most notably, it is the location of the Wellsprings, the Temples of Sound and Silence, and home of 000, grandmother to all esk.
Tell us about your esk's story...
- Has your esk ever been to the Conservatory?
- How often do they frequent it? Do they keep away? How do they feel about it?
- How did they find out about it? Did they always know how to access it, or did they have to learn? Who or what taught them?
- Is it difficult for your esk to travel there?
- What do they do there? How do they spend their time there? Do they meet or reunite with friends, explore the different wings, rest and recharge, wish at the Wellsprings, visit with 000…?
- Where do they frequent? What is their favorite environment to visit? Have they made an area for themselves there?

Featured in Folklore
Though Esk aren’t usually perceptible by humans, many people have their landscapes and lives affected by Esk. Strange phenomena, sudden changes in or oddly preserved natural areas, unexplained repeating events--these and many more have been the intentional or accidental work of Esk. To explain these, humans have created and kept centuries of oral traditions, folktales, or simple warnings to beware the woods at night. Is your Esk the inspiration of any?
Tell us about your esk's story...
- Does your Esk feature in any local folklore, myths, or cryptid sightings?
- Have humans noticed their influence around their boundary?
- Are the humans’ stories wildly incorrect or do they come worryingly close to the truth?
- Has your Esk heard of these tales? Have they ever teased humans, playing up their role in their tales, or perhaps tried to downplay their involvement or change their reputation?
- Has your esk ever lured, saved, or transformed a human who believed or disbelieved the stories? Have they ever been tempted?
- Perhaps your Esk has started some of these rumors themselves?

Source of Enchantments
Esk are not created with enchantments, but they can receive or develop them over time as they grow and have new experiences. There is no standardized way to obtain an enchantment, esk must find it for themselves.
Tell us about your esk's story...
- How did your esk come to have their own enchantment?
- Was it a power they discovered or practiced over time, or did it appear suddenly?
- Did they receive it from a Wanderer or fallen esk's relic?
- Did they have a powerful experience or encounter that deeply changed them?
- Did something more unusual or mysterious take place, and is the esk unable to explain it?
- Or was it something else...?
