12,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_001,"I traveled the realm for decades as an arborist of sorts, visiting my forest village on occasion, until I settled down at Meryall Agronomics in Labyrinthos."
13,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_002,To think contributing botanical knowledge to the ark project would lead me to the stars... My sweetheart back home would be shocked if she knew!
14,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_003,"But while Auxesian soil is ideal for putting our studies to practice, plants don't grow overnight─so when I have time, I show folks around and check on the trees."
15,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_005,"Well, I hear it's the ninth astral body in the EG-1 star system and over seven carrots from Etheirys, which I've been assured is quite far."
16,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_006,"We got here following a navigational chart left on Oizys by the Voyagers─but whatever we expected to find, it wasn't an entire abandoned city!"
17,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_007,"At any rate, Auxesia is easily the most habitable of the three stars we've reached. The environs are so stable, the rainbow crystal need hardly operate at all."
18,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_008,"Yet despite the abundance of aether, not a single soul remains─man or beast─leaving only the plants to benefit. It's almost as though everyone vanished without a trace..."
19,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_010,"Timberpond refers to the eastern district encompassing our outpost. Being comparatively clear of trees, like a logging ground, makes for an ideal starship harbor."
20,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_011,"The city stands upon the canopies of colossal trees, aetherically augmented to an altitude of several hundred fulms above ground, with a roadway linking each substructure."
21,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_012,"Do you reckon the natives settled up here in pursuit of sunlight? Honestly, I can't believe nearly all of these buildings are made of wood!"
22,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_013,"The Emerald Nervure is a long road that runs through the heart of the city. The way it connects the substructures, like the veins of a leaf, paints a vivid picture of how the Voyagers may have raced along them in their vehicles."
23,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_014,"In fact, I get the sense they had a rather sizable population, too. How many cities of comparable scale can be found on Etheirys, I wonder?"
24,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_015,"Given its age, though, I feared the Nervure might crumble beneath our feet. Luckily, I'm told it has all the resilience of reinforced fibers!"
25,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_016,"The northwestern cluster looks a bit different from the rest. Like a pastoral landscape, it features more plant life than overtly man-made structures."
26,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_017,"For such an advanced civilization, what purpose might these swaths of empty land have served? Farmland, parkland, or perhaps holy ground?"
27,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_018,"Our research is ongoing, but the flora may well hold the answers. Indeed, with a better grasp of the city layout, I daresay full many theories will emerge..."
28,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_019,"The Netroot Radius is the southeast substructure, home to the Sprouting Towerling, its supporting facilities, and potentially an aetheric confluence, if the overgrowth is any indication."
29,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_020,"In fact, theory has it that the tower is part of a system which redirects that surfeit of aether to the city core."
30,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_021,"Likewise, the logistics of powering an energization station dictated we build our cosmoport here─and for all we know, perhaps we weren't the first to do so."
31,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_022,"Sylvan Stacks in the northwest features not only the Sunning Towerling but rows of crystals amid the trees, offering an uncommon contrast of green and blue."
32,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_023,"The largest is said to store vast quantities of data, not entirely unlike the “concepts” used by the Loporrits. A crystalline library, one might say!"
33,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_024,"With the Sunning Towerling revived, I expect the surrounding crystals are next to be analyzed. I can but imagine how much information lies dormant within..."
34,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_025,"The Stratostone Stand refers to the southwestern dome. Like Sylvan Stacks, the tower there stands surrounded by crystals that offer both power and storage."
35,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_026,"We suspect they were all brought here from Oizys. Yet while the city lay abandoned, they've continued to grow in size by absorbing aether."
36,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_027,"The Rooting Towerling, meanwhile, is notable for its separation of the transmitter from the main interior. Both are doubtless vital components, sheltered as they are from the elements."
37,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_028,"Towering to the north, you'll find the Core Shroud, the sacred white forest at the heart of Auxesia."
38,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_029,"The upper level is a series of facilities encased in resin domes. We're currently investigating Grandma Laurel at the center, but the rest are no less functional."
39,TEXT_CTSWKS75TIMBERLODGE_00983_SPINA_000_030,"I'm told the names of this and the other towers were designed to reflect a family─and a remarkable one at that, given all its technological advancements!"
