The Saintess lived at the highest point of the village, at a point almost above the canopy of the surrounding jungle.
The Saintess of the Gehenna people was told to have the ability to converse with spirits. This ability also gave her a connection to the "Great One" above, the Gehenna Tribe's interpretation of the Heavens.
To get her abode, which was meant to keep her most connected to the highest power, one needed to use a complex set of rope bridges and unique floating structures made out of the surrounding foliage.
It was intentionally made difficult to reach, but the people of the village could get there without any sort of trouble whatsoever.
Naturally, Damien didn't have the same familiarity they did, but after living in the village for a year, it was easy for him to follow along as the small woman guided him through it all.
When they finally reached the place, Damien was surprised by how humble it was.
