The Vera tree is the home of the Sisk race. It is one huge tree, going up several hundred feet in height, and about half the height in width. It houses hundreds of the Sisk in the one area. Unfortunately, there is only one way in and one way out, and the one way is guarded night and day. The ground that the tree is on is believed to be sacred, smiled upon by the gods. Because of this, few people besides the Sisk have ever stepped foot inside, and those that have refuse to talk about what they see. The inside is filled with ladders and steps and rooms jutting out into the limbs of the tree. The Sisk race is one of the few who enter the Nightmare forest simply to capture the fairyflies to light their homes as they do not typically like to chance fire. When it gets colder in the winter, they do however crack and allow the use of fire.
