A witching-staff of alder. Though its curling boughs look natural as wind, Gwylen was hand-shaped by Aureli jardiniers. Not carved, but grown into delicate curves- finely tuned to facilitate the flow of magic. To grow a single wand takes years. A staff like Gwylen, a lifetime.

Trivia

Despite Gwylen having been hand-shaped by Aureli jardiniers, its in-game origin is marked as Dendrit. It is unknown if this implies Dendria is a much bigger geographical region than Midrath, or if it implies that jardiniers from Aurel travelled to Midrath prior to creating Gwylen.

Envoys with Fragments attained prior to Preludes 15 retained the ability to Craft Gwylen with Tuvalkane at the cost of the original Crafting Requirements.

Prior to the Virtue Rework of Preludes 13, Gwylen scaled with Spirit, with no minimum requirement.
