You have followed the path for quite some time before you enter a grove filled with verdant life. Fresh shoots sprout everywhere from the damp soil and saplings surround a depression in the forest floor. There in the middle, a slender A'Dendri is creating something by picking up living plants and growing them together. Guide Knocks, "Birthing place, Grove Maiden." Taking in the scene, you see you are in a sort of nursery where fledgling A'Dendri and bioforms are grown. If anyone knows where 'Mother' can be found, it might be her. A sound from your right draws your attention. A heap of dead wood is being sorted by a bioconstruct, its multitude of vine-like appendages ripping at the branches. No, not branches… arms. With disgust, you realize these are dead A'Dendri and they are being used to fertilize the growing ones. Guide seems not to notice.
