Heartwood Cathedral

The center of Arborolus — a 200-foot living-wood spire grown from the same druidic oak that founded the city ~1,500 years ago. The cathedral is open to the public during the day. The spire itself is off-limits to visitors — caretaker access only.

What We Noticed (Session 8)

• Tarine’s flashlight pulls hard within several blocks of the cathedral
• Royvan’s lunchbox warms the closer we get
• At dusk, the spire’s bark bioluminesces silver-blue — soft, like the surface of Royvan’s lunchbox glow

What This Means

This is the Arborolus Antenna — the local node from the Star Atlas. We have not entered the spire yet.

What We Saw Outside (Session 8 Cliffhanger)

Lyndon Gravelli sitting at an outdoor café in the cathedral square, sipping tea, in a too-tan jacket. “Hey kids! You made great time! Marco says hello.” End of session there.
