Location from Hyperion by Dan Simmons
The Templar homeworld — a planet of ancient forests where treeships grow and the Shrike fought Rhadamanth Nemes among the roots of something older than human civilization.
God's Grove is the spiritual home of the Templar Brotherhood of the Muir — a monastic order devoted to trees, ecology, and the preservation of natural systems. The Templars grow their treeships here and maintain the planet as a living monument to arboreal life. The Shrike fought Rhadamanth Nemes on God's Grove — one of the most significant combat encounters in the Endymion novels. The planet's ancient forests served as the backdrop for a battle between a time-traveling killing machine and a phase-shifting assassin. Neither the trees nor the reader were prepared.
A forest world — entire planet covered in ancient trees tended by the Templar Brotherhood. The Templars grow their treeships here: kilometer-long trees made spaceworthy by containment fields from ergs. The light is green-gold, filtered through canopy. The silence is alive.
