Every flame tells a tale.
These hills are home to watchers, wanderers, and keepers of the deep woods.
Find the one whose spirit is kindred to yours, light its candle, and carry its tale home.
Quest & Flame was born in the Appalachian Highlands of Virginia, among some of the oldest mountains on Earth.
Stories have always lived here, told on porches and by firelight, handed down like heirlooms. Scent is memory, and memory is the storyteller’s greatest tool. Every candle carries one of these spirits and sets the stage for the next tale.
Old mountains. Kindred spirits.

Heather of the Glen

Haunt: The Hollow
Strength: Knows your spirit before you do
Weakness: Never could pass up a good story
Companion: Her Faithful Hound Tobias
Long before I walked the market lanes, my people crossed the sea from Scotland and the old countries beyond. By the 1700s they had climbed into the Blue Ridge Mountains with little more than their grit, their old songs, and the skills passed down to them. They made their lives from these hills, and they kept their stories alive by the fire.
That legacy lives on in my hands.
I’m Heather of the Glen, a wandering merchant of candles, hand-carved charms, and forgotten lore. You’ll find me at markets, faires, and festivals, wrapped in the scent of the deep woods. Every candle I pour belongs to one of the Kindred, the wild spirits of these mountains, and every carving is made to keep one close.
Stop by The Hollow, wander among the wares, and find the spirit that’s been waiting for you.
Light a wick and lend an ear; your kindred spirit’s waiting here.
