Island of Renewal

The Island of Renewal is a location in the plane of Elysium. It is the home of the goddess Sarenrae.

Description
The sky in Elysium over the island is blue with a few clouds, and while it is light, there is no obvious source. There appears to be no wildlife. The Island of Renewal's beaches are made up of shining pearls, and the island is surrounded by a clear, calm, warm, lagoon-like ocean. There are a few trees, and the hills are covered in old, statue-like structures. There are small temple-like oddities that were ravaged during Calamity and partially crumbled during the ensuing loss of faith in Sarenrae, which emerge like "jagged bits of earth that have been plunged up by seismic activity." Beyond the hills is a gargantuan crystal cathedral shaped like the torso of a woman with upward curling wings, which spires to a point where the head would be. It is topped by a huge, round red gem. Inside this cathedral is the flickering glow of an eternal fire, and along the pathways towards the temple at the center of the island stand large obelisks at strange angles.

Traveling along the paths does not actually take one closer to the cathedral. One must be or be led by a believer in Sarenrae to approach.

History
Vox Machina visited the Island of Renewal in search of a blessing from Sarenrae when they were making their preparations to defeat Vecna. Pike was given a vision of the island as well as the tuning fork needed to Plane Shift to Elysium, and once the party arrived and found their way to the temple, Pike was granted Sarenrae's blessing.
