Home Base

The Home Base (previously Expedition Base) was once the base of operations for Quince's Expedition. It is now simply the primary resting place for the Spiritual Travelers and is currently in development. The base is located along a creek near the central path and is on the eastern side of Tympi's Forest.
From this base, the Spiritual Travelers have access to a Mothlight Tree, The Writer, and a brewer name Arjan. They also have beds, a cabin, and lots of easily accessible foods.
Additionally, they have acquired a strange plant which holds a fragment of Ar'en'el. It is currently kept safe and cozy in their underground farm. Maybe it can be more easily conversed with somehow...

Defences

The most recent plans for this base involve building walls by digging three foot deep trenches, creating a Cheval de frise using spikes made from nearby trees, growing a poisonous vine wall from the seeds of Vine Beasts, and adding additional preventative measures.
The base is also surrounded with a spiritual ward thanks to Namina.
The walls surrounding this base will be shaped like an octagram, likely due to their being 8 founding members when reducing DAN to their component, brotherly, parts.

History

The Spiritual Travelers first set up camp at this location on Nurend 04, 308 after saving Croak and receiving some guidance from him. They first set up their tents and a rudimentary fence using ropes and small tree trunks.
In the early morning of Nurend 06, 308, the Spiritual Travelers finished the walls for their base and began work on the cabin. This cabin was in production until Nurend 13, 308 when they unexpectedly abandoned the project to hunt down Tympi after a spooky dream.

Points of interest

Cabin - The Spiritual Travelers have built a cabin which is designed to have a room for each of them, a common area and a kitchen. Doors leading to an attached animal pen area of the base and the garden are available in the appropriate rooms. Doors leading directly from their water supply to the rest of the base are also available so that getting water to any room or the other side of camp is easy. There's a trapdoor leading to Namina's grotto which has access to the pond they created, and it also leads to an underground farm.
Underground Farm - Beneath the base is a farm with a built-in Day/Night cycle thanks to Aotrom and Dorcha. At the center of this farm is a Mothlight Tree Sapling which provides easy access to The Hidden Village of Mothlights. The diverse plant life has attracted several wisps which light the area up at night. While it is nighttime, stars are also visible unlike on the surface.
