====Nature Spirits/Genius Loci====
If a dryad lives in a tree on the mortal plane, then the tree that a Dryad lives in would be a nature spirit/Genius Loci. Nature spirits aren't so much drawn to places of power as they are the will of places of power; you can have a Place of Power without a Genius Loci, but you can't have a Genius Loci without a Place of Power. Mortal spellcasters may attempt a '''Sanctum Invocation''' which is not a contest of wills, a straight-up fight, a contract, or an introduction, but a mix of all those things. It's a ritual that binds it to the wizard, and the wizard to it. This boosts the wizards power while in the Place of Power, and connects them to the will of the spirit. A Place of Power does not have to be natural to generate a nature spirit, it is just as likely that Auschwitz or the Statue of Liberty has a Genius Loci as the Grand Canyon or Niagra Falls, simply due to the large concentration of emotion and life moving through the area.

'''Known Places of Power'''
*'''"Demonreach"''' A spooky fucking island in Lake Michigan that was scrubbed off the maps after the spirit present caused every single person who tried to settle there to go irrevocably insane. The Genius Loci attached to this place looks like a cloaked twelve foot tall humanoid form made of roots, vines, and rocks. It's terrifyingly powerful, to the point where even Mab gives it a healthy respect - it's implied that while it's power is only localized to the island itself (and surrounds), if she's on it, Demonreach could easily subdue and contain Mab for millenia if so inclined. Walks with a pronounced limp, and '''SPEAKS LIKE THIS'''. 

*'''The Pyramids of Giza''' Mentioned in the RPG books.

*'''Chitchen Itza''' The Red's Courts primary ritual grounds, lots of Earth Magic, and dark, dark sacrificial rites go on here.

*'''Stonehenge'''

*'''The Hallowed Halls''' The White Councils headquarters underneath Edinburgh castle. Is said to move depending on the current world superpower, and was located under Rome during the time of the Original Merlin. Why it isn't under the White House or the Pentagon at the moment is a question that really should be asked, but then again, the White Council seems to have beef with America for some reason. 

*'''Vesuvius''' An off hand comment in Cold Days implies the eruption was the doing of a pissed off Genius Loci.
