Mansion of the Spirit Tree (霊樹の館 Reiju no yakata?) was the home of Flora and Schierke.
Geography
Located in the forest near Enoch Village, the mansion lies within a continuous Interstice and is a conjunction between the physical plane and the astral plane. Normal humans are usually unable to find the mansion unless they are invited.
History
The mansion was built around a Spirit Tree, one of many that have their roots buried in the World Tree to keep it from growing and consuming the world in a global interstice. Flora, being able to tap into its power, made her home in the Spirit Tree to maintain the balance between the physical and astral planes.
Years later, Flora welcomes Guts and his company to her domain, despite protests from her apprentice Schierke regarding the strangers. She agrees to help Morgan with Enoch Village's troll problem by having Schierke join Guts' party while giving them arsenal to counteract the supernatural creatures along with protection.
The mansion comes under attack by Griffith's Apostle followers within the new Band of the Hawk, including Nosferatu Zodd and Grunbeld, as the tree's existence was a threat in their leader's plan. Flora, accepting her fate to die with the tree as Guts' Travelling Party return from their mission, instructs Schierke to fetch the Berserker Armor for Guts to use. While Guts assumed that Griffith considered Flora a threat to him, he and the others learn the significance of the Spirit Trees while on Skellig.
