Telghey Haven
For most, the beautiful paths which can often make a trip up to a Haven worth it only become available once they exit their vehicle and take off on foot. Some may be visible from the roadside, it's true, and yet they will only find true beauty waiting for them when there is a well worn ache deep in their soles. Fortunately for those with the sort of appreciation for nature which draws out pleased sighs and comfortable naps underneath the sunshine, the journey down to Telghey is one which is pleasant for eyes and tired feet alike.
Right off the main road which goes towards the Caem Shores, the little road off down to the Malmalam Thicket parking area has no need for things such as the hard metal guard rails which keep reckless drivers from tumbling off the cliffs and down into oceans or herds of highly aggravated spiracorns.
Down the MalMalham road, the only thing bracketing cars which venture forth onto it would be the towering walls of rock, or the occasional rustic wooden fence to simply remind people to stay steady. In exchange for these minimal trappings, drivers get to experience the utterly pleasant and novel experience which is driving at quite the lazy pace, unhurried with a lack of annoyed honking behind them, and the sunlight filtering between the cool shadows of the branches overhead. It is by no means a very long drive. Despite this, it offers a soothing balm to the mind which may be a rare find for some.
Telghey Haven is the cherry on top for this sensation, posted right there before the parking space and but a minute or two's walk from the car to its comfort. In fact, it is "right there" for just about everything that this little nestle of nature could provide for an individual. It is close to the parking spot. It is close to the fishing spot right on the Maidenwater. Best of all for those who enjoy the leisurely drive down into the forest, it is close to the Maidenwater in its entirety, with a lovely view of the river right there from its rocks.
I would be the first to admit that camping may not be for everyone, and that many people put painstaking amounts of effort into ensuring that they will never have to rely on a Haven during their trip. Still, by all means, take my advice: even if camping is something which makes you shy away, I recommend taking that small little dirt road down to Telghey.
Even if it is but a brief stop, I promise it will be worth it, no matter if only for a brief rest stop.
For others with an interest in staying the night proper, I will have to admit some regret for Telghey's proximity to a parking spot means it falls prey to the same matter as so many other Havens in that you will have to contend with a rather bright light not too far off from where you will be slumbering. Pack a sleeping mask. If you can weather through that minor nuisance, then I can only recommend you a delightful little recipe that goes by the name of Salmon In A Suit. Nebula Salmon over in the Maidenwater can be quite a feisty fish to pull from the depths, and yet they are a delicious one. It is far from a terrible thing to prioritize one ingredient over all the rest. So with some simple rice and a bit of dried seaweed, you can enjoy the full fresh taste of salmon without any adornments. Taste it on its own like this, and you will forever be able to appreciate it whenever it is presented to you in other forms and with accompaniments.

fishfearme: ok if you love the taste of trout then just come here. seriously maidenwater is just FULL of trout. you will be going back to telghey with just nothing but trout and it will be kind of great for a few days until you get sick of eating trout on a stick. for fishing, they're actually pretty okay to reel in. they're not going to violently fight you as hard as some fish will (i'm thinking of caem shore ocean fish in particular), but they won't let you just take them with no effort, right? since you're going to be fishing up a million trout forever, they're honestly a pretty good fish to practice hauling in if you're used to just pulling up dace and bluegills. when you feel like graduating from trout, wait until sunset starts to roll around, and that's when nebula salmon start swimming on through. that's the REAL challenge when you've been adjusting to trout all morning and all day. nebula salmon love to keep you guessing. they're always going one way or the other. pay attention to your line and where you're pointing your rod or that's it and you're done. when you've finally reeled them in, they'll still be fresh right there and then so you can enjoy them for dinner. ★★★★★
chocobro: so normally when you go right into forests and stuff like that there's always always always ALWAYS UPSER ALWAYS going to be like thsome kind of wild animal that just wants to get your butt but tbh the area around telghey is kind of crazy chill???????????? lk the MOST ur gonna see is the seadevils over the rocks by the maidwnwater dock and the guy sellin stuf ove rthere was like yeah sometimes they'll chase away all the fish but normally u gotta go fightin them yourself becaus SUMBODY is like no they can't scare off the fish that would suck but otherwise all the scary things are on the other side of the bridge! ★★★★✩
womenwantme: I swear to the Six, I'm going to just start tearing down those stupid bright lights that they set up right near parking lots. I know that they're meant to keep away daemons at night so I shouldn't do that kind of thing, but it's enough to gut a man when you find a Haven that could be perfect if not for the glaring lights right there in front of your face. This place has everything, otherwise, including a nearby bridge where you can really get a good trek up the hillside going along with culling the local beast population. (They spawn like crazy around the Thicket, it just draws their attention even if they don't go inside.) I wish I could give it higher. ★★★★✩
