The Moonhart Mother Tree.
The variety of trees that crowd around the Moonhart Mother Tree goes beyond count, elms and alders, beech and cherry, hawthorn and hazel, evergreen and oak, all dwarfed by the magnificence and majesty of the mother tree herself. The grasses and shrubs that grow in the surrounding forest become scarce as they approach the tree, replaced by tiny wildflowers of amethyst-purple and marble-white. The veil to the ethereal plane is particularly thin, and the laughter of pixies and other creatures of the fae tinkle down from the treetops and tickle the ears of those below. The atmosphere itself, although benign and welcoming, also vibrates with a palpable power, sending shivers up the skin. The vegetation in the area feels saturated with life, covered in misted dewdrops, ready to burst forth into vibrancy at any moment. Birds sing more melodically, and creatures dance amidst the foliage, suffused with power and grace. A sedge of galingale is firmly planted in the forest floor. A marjoram bush flourishes here, spreading its delicate scent. Sprays of chervil cover the forest floor. Lovely coltsfoot carpets the forest floor. Singing a hauntingly beautiful melody, Miakoda, Maiden of the Moonhart, stands here. Towering high above is the Moonhart Mother Tree, stretching her enormous branches heavenwards. Gleaming with a silver lambency, a slender tree grows here, its bark and boughs displaying the faces of the dead. There are 2 armoured foxes here. Rising tall overhead, a totem of silvery wood sits here, decorated with the offerings of the Serenwilde forest. There are 3 striped badgers here. There are 7 armoured owls here. An illustrated canvas hangs in the air here, supported by silvery ribbons. Lacking any visible weapon, Adasser, Wolverine's Mask assesses his surroundings with glacial blue eyes. There are 10 frost hags here. There are 7 fierce timberwolves here. Soft hues of light illuminate a small shrine situated within a tangle of delicate bluebells. Blending in with the foliage, a mossy chest rests here. There are 10 centaur hunters here. There are 10 kephera nature warders here. Reaching up as high as the eye can see looms the awesome presence of a living totem. A mature hornbeam tree stands proudly here. There are 3 armoured vixens here. A painting of Glinshari Strongleaf has been thrown on the ground here. A mysterious steel box rests here, glinting dully in the available light. Glowing with an inner light, a jack-o-lantern depicting a moon-covered White Hart drives away nearby shadows. Glowing with an inner light, a jack-o-lantern depicting a moon-covered tree drives away nearby shadows. There are 3 scarred candy femurs here. Candy eyes glittering, a pressed sugar skull grins here. There are 2 skeletal candy arms here. There are 4 candied middle fingers here. Slick with blood and sugar, a candied eyeball lies here. There are 3 chocolate gallbladders here. A sketch of Acalia has been thrown on the ground here. A fluffy husky puppy sniffs anything that isn't moving here. Glowing with an inner light, a jack-o-lantern depicting a spooky White Hart drives away nearby shadows. A humble song sparrow twitters cheerily here, flickers of aetherspace around her wings conveying a dizzying sense of scale. Massive sapphire feathered wings filling much of the space around him, a golden hippogriff stands here, shimmering with a warm luminescence. Flapjack the fox is standing here quietly. Veara frowns deeply, lines creasing her forehead. She wields a jade encrusted klangaxe with both hands. The regal form of a Lady of Moonlight stands here, gleaming streamers of white fabric surrounding the graceful figure. Hunched forward, an ugly wiccan hag stands here, wheezing. A maddened elfen looms here, buffeted by an everpresent breeze. Lendren Starfall with a Rainbow face stands here, surrounded by faint sparkles of prismatic light about her form. She wields a scuffed mandolin bearing the stories of the road in her left hand.

(The Hoard & The Hive): Calioliahali says, "How are you?"

In a swirl of blue fire, a gentle spirit stag leaps out of the Flame of dae'Seren upon Veara and prances in a slow circle before fading.
Faking offense, you say to Veara, "Betrayed by mine-owns childs! The horror!"

Lifting a dainty hand to finger your neckline, you glance about with uncertain disdain.

Forestwalker Llani Myeras says, "Not enough! It'll cost you an arm and a leg."

Lendren Starfall says to Veara, "You mean you're offering to disarm yourself?"

Flapjack the fox holds his head out to Calfuray for petting.
Calfuray climbs into a comically oversized costume of Uskashyth, the Great Worm, struggling to find her way around the massive pile of felt and silk taffeta. Finally, she finds her way to the viewing porthole, and the head of the costume rises far overhead in a wobbling, comical display.
A plump wild rabbit bounces out to the north.

Qistrel's form collapses into a swarm of lightning bugs, which flicker and race out to the south.
==== Something exits from south. ====
You glance askance.
A fierce timberwolf tilts back his head in a low, resonant howl.
Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Apologies. I should be going."
You give Velcora a peck on the cheek.
You touch the Mantle of Starlight and are surrounded by a brilliant white light. The distant song of an angelic choir can be heard, as you feel angelic hands lift you up and carry you away.
This room has not been mapped.
Upon the Starlit Eternity.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. The vast and endless cosmos stretch out before you in all directions, the empty darkness of midnight sky no longer simply above but beneath, before and behind as well. Shimmering pinpricks of light exist in countless clouds and clusters, some glowing with the radiant intensity of the Star of Celest while others twinkle in and out of existence in a constant struggle to be noticed. Great swathes of cosmic dust swirl in the distance about glowing focal points, all of them moving in precise and predictable manners, all spinning slowly about this very point. Infinitesimal specks of light join with radiant stars ranging from white to blue to a burning crimson, forging a wide variety of constellations, many seen within the skies above New Celest while others remain completely unknown. Floating within the starlit nothingness, a single glowing pentacle forms the Starlit Eternity, each point bearing an archway of white light, their depths shrouded almost completely by warm starlight. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. Ionye, the celestial amphiptere, awaits here, a corona of starlight radiating from the feathered frill around his neck.
You see exits leading north, northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest, up, and down (open door).
Ionye, the celestial amphiptere chirrs excitedly at you, his nearly translucent feathers swaying wildly as he bobs his head enthusiastically in acknowledgment.
Ionye, the celestial amphiptere makes a last look at you, his inexplicable gaze gives off a mysterious feeling of farewell.

The Pool of Stars.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Meeting in the radiant heart of New Celest, the broad city streets come together in a large, open plaza of marbled stone. Rising in the centre of the plaza is a structure of noble and luminescent pillars which suspend a round, ring-shaped platform twenty feet above the light-studded surface of the pool below. The atmosphere within the structure and around the pool bristles with a warm, electrical energy, giving a slightly disorienting sense of dizziness and euphoria. A gradually ascending stairway winds its way about the inside of the pillars, leading towards the upper level of the structure and offering a bird's eye view of the pool. An enormously wide circular pool, as dark as the night sky, glitters softly between the columns. His form suffused with soft light, the Keeper of the Pool of Stars stands here attentively. A statue of Zenobia the Queen of Queens stands here, memorializing her noble spirit. An imposing sword of radiant white metal has been driven deep into the ground in a silent statement of intent. A mosaic tiled chest stands here, ready to share donations given. There are 10 archons of Eternal Light here. There are 10 cavaliers of the Light here. There are 10 Kusalas of the Tahtetso here. Glowing gently with a soft blue light, a delicate dreamcatcher has been permanently hung here. Glowing with an inner light, a jack-o-lantern depicting a holy Altaira drives away nearby shadows. Glowing with an inner light, a jack-o-lantern depicting a watery cherub drives away nearby shadows. A young dragon turtle with a stubby tail rests here, an air of majesty on his features. A water elemental churns here, crystal blue waters enveloped in a gentle mist.
You see exits leading north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, and up (open door).
Meleris, Keeper of the Pool of Stars bows his head reverently and traces a holy pentacle in the air before you, your vision suddenly filling with celestial light.
Meleris, Keeper of the Pool of Stars says, "Blessed be, Chosen One."

Betwixt the city park and Pool of Stars. (road).
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Thick dreamy cotton clouds are spread across the firmament. Along the side of the road, a large panel set into a base of marble depicts a shell with a wide, fanning lip and shallow upwards spiral with thick, short spikes in tints of pink and orange cream, marking this street as Queen Conch, or Strombus Gigas. The road is mosaiced in bits of stone of the shell's colours, ranging from whites, to tans, yellows, and oranges. A statue of Minkahmet stands here, memorialising his noble spirit. A small clump of trash lies upon the ground here, crumpled paper and half-rotten food fouling the city's streets. Playing without a care in the world, a small child is here.
You see exits leading northeast and southwest.

Entrance to the city park on Strombus Gigas. (road).
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A fresh breeze is blowing through the area. Varying greens of plantlife encroach along the side of the road, building into a muffling wall that marks the park apart from the rest of the city. The mosaic patterns of the road shift and spiral in loosely conch-like shapes to lead into the path that slips into the park. That path passes through a small arch of woven iron with shimmering bronze leaves, made to loosely resemble a natural arch. Near the arch, a beautifully painted sign of a golden retriever announces the Retriever Adoption centre. A small grotto of golden coral protectively guards the tidepool within. A statue of Minkahmet stands here, memorialising his noble spirit.
You see exits leading northeast, east, southeast, and southwest.

In the park entrance.
Pale, watery light floats away from a shield shrine of Carakhan nearby. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A fresh breeze is blowing through the area. A narrow path winds its way from the street, through the dense vegetation. This end of the park is filled with trees and shrubs that fill the air with a heady scent of juniper and other spicy smells. Through a small clearing can be seen the open park to the east, with its great velvety green grass, and serenely idyllic landscaping.

In the centre of the city park.
Pale, watery light floats away from a shield shrine of Carakhan nearby. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. It is warm and quite pleasant. Wide green expanses of flat, soft grass stretch out at least a strong bowshot in every direction. Deep in the heart of a thriving mass of shoppers, politicians, lovers, craftsmen, and soldiers, this green oasis offers a tranquil respite for all who venture here. The smells of the lush grass and surrounding park are thick in the air.

Near the duck pond.
Pale, watery light floats away from a shield shrine of Carakhan nearby. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. It is warm and quite pleasant. The flat, grassy lawn of the city park slopes gently downwards and then drops abruptly to the edge of a shallow pond. Large, tame, white ducks paddle lazily back and forth, occasionally bobbing their heads below the surface. On the south end of the pond, water lilies create a solid blanket of green which barely breaks the surface of the water. A translucent ghost floats here, wailing in tortured agony.
You see exits leading northeast and northwest.
'Boo!' you scream happily at a translucent ghost.
A translucent ghost wails in confusion and fright, leaping into your hands and covering your body with a layer of cold frost that soon fades.
A translucent ghost tells you, "Goodness gracious me! That was almost as scary as when I mooned Lady Lisaera."

Pale, watery light floats away from a shield shrine of Carakhan nearby. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A fresh breeze is blowing through the area. A large grassy lawn, smooth and flat, stretches westward for several hundred feet, where it meets a wall of trees on the far side. Just south of here, two wooden buildings and a massive tent adorn the grassy field. The lighthearted chirping of small birds echoes across the open ground from the surrounding trees.

Pale, watery light floats away from a shield shrine of Carakhan nearby. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Thick dreamy cotton clouds are spread across the firmament. Here in the north end of the grassy expanse, a section of New Celest is dedicated to the young, and the young at heart. Wood and metal structures are solidly screwed together, to encourage physical activity, fun, and games. One of the more exotic creations is the two-headed dragon. After climbing a ladder, people can hop down the maw of the dragon, spiraling down its tubular body and popping out at the bottom, which is also shaped in the image of a dragon's head. Surrounded by an aura of clarity and calm, a sculpture of the Loving Radiance stands here, captured in blissful repose.

Betwixt the city park and Pool of Stars. (road).
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. It is warm and quite pleasant. Along the side of the road, a large panel set into a base of marble depicts a shell with a wide, fanning lip and shallow upwards spiral with thick, short spikes in tints of pink and orange cream, marking this street as Queen Conch, or Strombus Gigas. The road is mosaiced in bits of stone of the shell's colours, ranging from whites, to tans, yellows, and oranges. A statue of Minkahmet stands here, memorialising his noble spirit. A small clump of trash lies upon the ground here, crumpled paper and half-rotten food fouling the city's streets.
You see exits leading northeast and southwest.

The Pool of Stars.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Meeting in the radiant heart of New Celest, the broad city streets come together in a large, open plaza of marbled stone. Rising in the centre of the plaza is a structure of noble and luminescent pillars which suspend a round, ring-shaped platform twenty feet above the light-studded surface of the pool below. The atmosphere within the structure and around the pool bristles with a warm, electrical energy, giving a slightly disorienting sense of dizziness and euphoria. A gradually ascending stairway winds its way about the inside of the pillars, leading towards the upper level of the structure and offering a bird's eye view of the pool. An enormously wide circular pool, as dark as the night sky, glitters softly between the columns. His form suffused with soft light, the Keeper of the Pool of Stars stands here attentively. A statue of Zenobia the Queen of Queens stands here, memorializing her noble spirit. An imposing sword of radiant white metal has been driven deep into the ground in a silent statement of intent. A mosaic tiled chest stands here, ready to share donations given. There are 10 archons of Eternal Light here. There are 10 cavaliers of the Light here. There are 10 Kusalas of the Tahtetso here. Glowing gently with a soft blue light, a delicate dreamcatcher has been permanently hung here. Glowing with an inner light, a jack-o-lantern depicting a holy Altaira drives away nearby shadows. Glowing with an inner light, a jack-o-lantern depicting a watery cherub drives away nearby shadows. A young dragon turtle with a stubby tail rests here, an air of majesty on his features. A water elemental churns here, crystal blue waters enveloped in a gentle mist.
You see exits leading north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, and up (open door).
Meleris, Keeper of the Pool of Stars bows his head reverently and traces a holy pentacle in the air before you, your vision suddenly filling with celestial light.
Meleris, Keeper of the Pool of Stars says, "Blessed be, Chosen One."
Room #1964
You give a platter of powderfruit elephant mochi to Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie.
Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Deliver to calfuray."
With a click of his beak, Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie grasps a platter of powderfruit elephant mochi in his claws and disappears in a burst of frigid fog.
Trailing in a bone-chilling fog, Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie returns with a triumphant warble.
Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie obediently falls into line behind you.

Harmony echoes in your mind as you sing to Rootweir Calfuray, "Hope you have a nicely night, yes."
Velcora's melodic voice sings into your mind, "Resting a bit, see you soon love."
Harmony echoes in your mind as you sing to Greywalker Velcora Lunarose, Prismatic Voice, "Sleep well, love."
Veara tells you, "Uh, Cheliyi. Would you be having some time to speak?"
Calfuray tells you, "Thank you, kin. I hope you live in happiness and joy."
Midnight shadows coalesce around a new day, and Mother Night embraces the land in utter darkness.
It is now the 23rd of Vestian, 603 years after the Coming of Estarra.
Aural Tildarmin yells, "Fancy yourself a scholar? Do you have a story to tell? Earn favours and credits by submitting a research project or story to the Librarian!"
(Shadowlight): Kennian says, "Ilthilior ENTERED my demesne!"
(Shadowlight): Kennian says, "Ilthilior LEFT my demesne!"
Harmony echoes in your mind as you sing to Spirit-Touched Veara, "Ah? Of courses, yes. Meet me in your mother's manse?"
Veara tells you, "Yes, sounds good."
Meleris, Keeper of the Pool of Stars tilts his head back and looks up at the sky.
A panoply of bubbles shimmers into existence, dancing in and around a young dragon turtle with a stubby tail in intricate patterns.
You touch a glowing emerald leaf, and leafy creepers push up through the ground and climb up your legs. As the leaves turn brown and blow away, you are suddenly whisked away.
An archon of Eternal Light says, "May the Light shine with you, Cheliyi."

Standing before thrumming trees.
There is a moderate breeze here. Single blankets of deep glowing fog roll sluggishly along the ground and swirl in the air, the glow ethereal and quixotic. A mass of gigantic trees rise up in a barrier to the outside forces, their bodies glowing an iridescent green as a baritone hum causes the very earth to slightly shudder constantly. The air is damp with moisture, the ever present clouds overhead storming and brewing as the tropical weather causes the trees to reach their multi-colour leaves up towards the heavens. Constant motes of light swirl along the roots of the trees, traveling up along a steep ascent towards a towering mountain that juts up from the earth in the distance. A mature birch tree stands proudly here. There is an aetherways portal here.
You see exits leading northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest.

The Aetherplex Chamber.
The spherical chamber is formed from a hollow geode comprised of dozens of precious gemstones. Large jagged formations of rubies, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds line the walls and ceiling. The floor has been cut and polished to a brilliant shine, revealing concentric circles of brilliant colours. Upon close examination of the glassy floor, shimmering reflections briefly glide across its smooth surface of wondrous mansions and abodes. A current of electricity continuously runs throughout this mineral wonder, causing tiny sparks to erratically blossom up and down the crystalline formations. Hidden deep within the environment lies a mystic pathway. Shimmering with aetheric energy, a bright glowing portal floats here in midair. Hackles risen, a fierce timberwolf prowls about here. A screech owl is here, surveying the surroundings. There are 2 great brindle mastiffs here. A giant bat hangs here, wings folded about its body and one beady eye open. Set upon a pedestal, a metal suggestion box for the Ascension Gala has been displayed. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. Stretching out from the ceiling's corners and along the walls, sticky strands of webbing add an air of unease to their surroundings. Covered in bone armour, a furry tarantula crouches here, ready to pounce on unsuspecting prey. A cobalt dragon turtle with cerulean wings rests here, an air of majesty on her features. Massive sapphire feathered wings filling much of the space around him, a golden hippogriff stands here, shimmering with a warm luminescence. Lillirallia Ebonrose, Inquisitor of Wyrden Purity is here. She wields the Deck of the Fae in her left hand. A water elemental churns here, crystal blue waters enveloped in a gentle mist. Spirit-Touched Veara sojourns here, veiled by incensed mists winding into a wispy fog. She wields a jade encrusted klangaxe with both hands. Skyborne Parvenu Lilliani is here. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system. There is an aetherways portal here.
You see exits leading north (open door), south, out, and through a bright, glowing portal.
Gliding out to the ether on sapphire feathered wings, a golden hippogriff vanishes from sight.
==== Something exits from ether ====
In a soft, wispy voice, Skyborne Parvenu Lilliani says, "Excuse me, insanity."
You can't find an entrance to that here.
Lilliani leaves to the out.

A Luxurious Parlour.                                   (#FOX_1)
This room has rich wood panelling, a high ceiling, and a glorious, amberflamed, crystal chandelier. The furnishings are twinkling and translucent, clearly illusory. There are soft, cozy couches and overstuffed chairs, ornate bookcases and several inaccurate, framed maps. Fox imagery is featured throughout the room, in framed pictures, wood panel carvings, tapestries, and in the fine, woven rug. The pale wood of a white-cushioned couch bears the figures of twin stags. There are 2 moss-covered stump chairs here. Its door shut for the sake of company, a tidy butler's closet blends nicely into the wall here. A painting of Cheliyi and Velcora is proudly exhibited on a nearby wall. Glowing with an inner light, a jack-o-lantern depicting a moon-covered Moonhart Mother Tree drives away nearby shadows. Massive sapphire feathered wings filling much of the space around him, a golden hippogriff stands here, shimmering with a warm luminescence. Spirit-Touched Veara sojourns here, veiled by incensed mists winding into a wispy fog. She wields a jade encrusted klangaxe with both hands.
