Found in the Clouded Forest of the Western Frontier, the Whispering Greatcap, or Falap Atsawl, has the features of a giant polypore mushroom, with multiple caps growing from a sturdy central stalk. Each of these caps has a gilled underside from which neuro-connecting tendrils descend, and serves as an access point to Eywa. They are sacred to the Kame’tire who have built their main settlement, the Hollows, near one large Whispering Greatcap. This one resides in the Circle of Ancestors—a small underground hollow where the clan’s major gatherings and ceremonies take place. A smaller Greatcap resides in a similar cave nearby called Ancestor’s Rest, and is reserved for more modest gatherings and individual visits.
