A setting that I often write stories in. Hexgrove is a mid-magic, pastoral setting with anthropomorphic UK woodland animals and clockwork tech. The Six Groves are a landscape of woods, swamps, heath, mountains and hills dotted with sources of magic called Hexgroves. In these clearings whose origins are unclear, strange six-petalled flowers bloom, providing a magic that causes animals of the Six Groves - mammals, many larger birds, some amphibians - sentience, the ability to speak to each other, hands and opposable thumbs to enable tool usage.
