| This article is about the former Neverseen hideout: Gwynaura. You may be looking for the Gwynaura (Star). |
Gwynaura was one of the Neverseen's sixteen primary hideouts, connected by the Lodestar symbol. To get to this hideout, the shadows in the Cimmerian mirror have to be manipulated so that they curl into a never-ending spiral, creating a gateway into a hidden room. This hidden room may have been there ever since Foxfire was built, and it is said that it most likely has a long-forgotten purpose. The floor of the room has the Lodestar symbol with runes in a circle at the end of one of the rays which read “Valkonian”, another solo star. To get to Gwynaura, a Shade has to step onto the pool of shadows that gather around the Gwynaura ray, and light leap themselves (and any others with them) using the starlight absorbed by the shadows. It was compromised in Lodestar due to the Black Swan discovery of it, specifically Tam, Dex, Fitz, Biana, and Sophie.
Gwynaura may be derived from the Welsh Gwynaur, which means white gold.
