Forces of Nature Lore and Puzzle Hints for Access to the Viridian Rise Dialog: You tell Shade of Lady Adja, "Viridian Rise" Shade of Lady Adja tells you, "Yes, the Virdian Rise. I have wandered that place in my visions. The magics of the wounded Deru endanger us. It expends too much of the world's magic, and the guardians have become infused by it. They must be... culled before the forest spreads. It saddens me, but there is no other way that I know of to prevent the tree's growth from overwhelming all in its path." Shade of Lady Adja tells you, "Know that the Guardian of Yew must be invoked at some point after the Guardian of Pine." Shade of Lady Adja tells you, "If you earn your entrance into that place, then follow the crowned ancients. They will mark your path."
