| Chestnut Lodge is the semi-mythical ancestral archetype and primary sacred site of the [[:skyss:pantheon:clewg|Clewgist Faith]]. Located—or believed to be hidden—within the [[:skyss:places:affaraon|Kingdom of Affaraon]], it serves as the spiritual blueprint for the meeting places of the Yendorian sect of Clewgites. In late 774 AM, the site shifted from a point of theological debate to one of critical narrative importance when the divine manifestation of [[:skyss:pantheon:clewg|Clewg]] explicitly commanded [[:skyss:chars:yngvild|Yngvild the Fierce]] to seek it out as the next stage of her heroic development. | Chestnut Lodge is the semi-mythical ancestral archetype and primary sacred site of the [[:skyss:pantheon:clewg|Clewgist Faith]].
