Immanent Grove

Immanent Grove

In Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series of novels, the Immanent Grove appears to be a small grove of trees near the center of the island of Roke, the headquarters of wizardry. It is a focus of magical power. The "Immanent Grove" is noted for appearing more extensive inside than out, and in some stories it is suggested that it has a supernatural connection to all forests in Earthsea. It is attended by the Master Patterner.
