The Glauxian Sisters' Retreat is the home of The Glauxian Sisters, and a place where female owls engage in meditation, prayer, healing, and the study of Glaux. It is mostly underground, where all of the members live in burrows, much like Burrowing Owls.

The Retreat is located on Elsemere Island, which is to the south of The Tridents and Stormfast Island and to the northwest of the Ice Dagger.

History[]

The Burning[]

In The Burning, Otulissa and Gylfie escorted Dewlap to the Glauxian Sisters' Retreat, where she would spend the rest of her days recovering.

The First Collier[]

In The First Collier, it is briefly mentioned that Queen Siv and Myrrthe disguise as gadfeathers and seek shelter from the Glauxian Sisters. One of the Glauxian Sisters was Rorkna, who was one of Siv's cousins. The Glauxian Sisters were all spellbound by the Nacht Ga'. Myrrthe suspected this and she returned to Siv. Later in the book, Grank also seeked shelter from the Glauxian Sisters. He resisted the Nachtmagen with his magic, and broke the spell which the Hagsfiend cast by driving an ice splinter into Rorkna's gizzard which caused her and the rest of the sisters who did not remember anything of that time to snap out of the Nacht Ga'. He did not tell the sisters the truth of the encounter with the Hagsfiends because it might lead them to doubt their beliefs.

The Golden Tree[]

After returning to the Great Tree and finding it in a state of worshipful adulation for the Ember, Coryn chastised the leading owls of this belief for their actions and eventually sentenced them to gentle 'retirement' to the Glauxian Retreats. As such Gemma and the other female members of the GGE were most likely sent there.
