Hearth's Glow is an instanced zone serving as a upgradable and customizable homestead. It is unlocked through the story step Home Sweet Home. It was originally the family home of the Claw of the lowland kodan, Stoic Alder, but was gifted to the Wayfinder for them to use.

The Homesteading mastery track allows the player to build out this base, unlocking rooms in the house, new decorations, and collection boxes.

Getting there[edit]

Primary article: Homestead#Getting there

Players can place then enter a Conjured Doorway using the Summon Conjured Doorway skill.
- The skill cannot be activated under certain conditions.
Players in the group can be invited to join a Homestead when the instance owner travels through the "Conjured Doorway".
- It is also possible to join from any map by right clicking on the instance owner in the party menu.

History[edit]

It once served as the Claw's family home but was left to fall into disrepair after the passing of Silken Weir, Alder's mate and Poky's mother. Weir joined efforts in the north to halt Jormag's rising, tragically resulting in the loss of her life.

After the Wayfinder had aquainted themselves with Harvest Den, Stoic Alder invited them to the Lower Waterfalls to visit a former homestead of his. While initially surprised by the rundown state of the property, the reasoning was eventually made clear. Moved by the plight of the Claw and his son, the Wayfinder put in some overdue maintenance on the homestead to help ease the family's burden. Although nothing in return was expected, Stoic Alder gifted the homestead to the Wayfinder, instead of offering it as a temporary base of operations during their stay as originally planned.

Following Stoic Alder's advice, the Wayfinder visited the town's Homestead master, Deft Lahar. Initially, the longtime friend of the Claw was displeased that the Wayfinder was tasked with repairs instead of him, but eventually warmed up to them after they proved themselves capable of hard work, which earned them instructions on the art of handiwork and an introduction to his mate Patient Willow, who taught the Wayfinder a traditional weaving pattern symbolizing "new beginnings".
