There just isn’t enough interest there for a Protogrove anymore so I was thinking of doing the route of Hearth Keeper. It would allow me to give a place for those who wanted to come worship with me, but without all the responsibility for now.

Beneath your gaze and brilliant light,
And ask that you wrap us in you arms,
Sheltering us from the terrors that lurk in the shadows,
And bring to us the knowledge of the eternal universe.

Time to double down on daily meditation and devotionals.
