The Summer Nexus

The Summer Nexus is in an ancient olive grove near the Bassara Tower. Dark green leaves form a canopy over the grove, and it is a favorite resting spot for the many animals who wander freely through the polis. Summer is seen a time of strength, and the Summer Nexus is a source of increased power. Nylea is worshipped here, as is Iroas before the Iroan Games.
The olive trees of the Summer Nexus are sacred and protected by the Bassara. It is said that Karametra bestowed the first Olive upon the mortal world by planting it at the center of the Summer Nexus. From this primordial olive tree twelve more trees were transplanted surrounding the Summer Nexus and they became known as the moriai and were the property of the goddess. Over the centuries an entire grove has sprung from the twelve original trees. Uprooting or otherwise destroying one of these sacred trees is punishable by exile or in some extreme cases, death.
