Sanctum of Power

Description

This mod adds sanctums (sacred groves) to the game where you can find one of each of the Places of Power, guarded by druids and their friendly beasts. Sanctums can be found in each of the five main game's regions - White Orchard, Novigrad, Skellige, Kaer Morhen and Toussaint. All of them can be found in remote locations in the wilderness.

In every location you will find their guardians - one or more druids accompanied by their friendly animal companions - wolves, bears and even wyverns. This mod is a small nod to The Witcher 1 video game, where such a grove could be found in the swamps near Vizima.

Each location contains one of each of the unique Places of Power - Aard, Igni, Quen, Yrden and Axii, giving you the ability to draw on all the elments at once. Use that for fun or before boss fights.

Also each location comes with a convenient Fast Travel marker, containg a lore-friendly name and description.

Drawing on the added Places of Power will not grant you Ability Points, as I felt that adding 25 extra points to the player would heavily impact the balance of the game. You will only receive Elemental buffs.

The locations are:

White Orchard - Elenya's Hearth - On the road to Vizima.

Novigrad - Veridian Cloak - Forest northeast of the Vegelbud Residence.

Skellige - Gannet's Eyrie - Forest northwest of the Whale Graveyard.

Kaer Morhen - The Watchman's Shelter - Very south of the map, at the end of the road near the river.

Toussaint - La Sylve Ancienne - Forest north of Prophet Lebioda's statue construction site.

Please check the images section for precise locations.

The latest version of the mod is only compatible with the Next-Gen version of the game, but Classic version can be found under Old Files in the Files section.
