a small clearing in the woods surrounding Kohoii. Esela visits this clearing often, giving it the name of Maeniil, or Sanctuary, as she is able to rest and enjoy her time here alone.

when she was young, esela and her mother built a small hut/house in the maeniil, kind of like a treehouse but on the ground. when Kulith begins staying with esela in the maeniil to hide from Solei, she stays in this house.
it is becoming overgrown with moss and leaves, but the inside is full of esela’s knickknacks, flowers, books, etc. she spends more time here than anywhere else.
