<strong>Eye signal tests</strong>
  +
  +
COLEUS: I was upstairs testing the <span style="color:orange">Eye signal locator</span> and it can hear and follow the signals from the <span style="color:lightblue">sun</span>, <span style="color:lightblue">Giant’s Deep</span>, and <span style="color:lightblue">Brittle Hollow</span>.
  +
  +
:COLEUS: However, something strange is happening when I ask the <span style="color:orange">Eye signal locator</span> to follow the <span style="color:lightblue">Eye</span>’s signal: The device’s indicator rotates wildly and never points to just one direction.
  +
  +
::THATCH: This is a curious result. It’s possible the <span style="color:lightblue">Eye</span> has stopped calling out its signal.
  +
  +
::FILIX: I see! I most likely calibrated the locator incorrectly. Privet (my apprentice) and I will make adjustments and try again.
  +
  +
:::FILIX: An update: Disappointingly, everything is correctly calibrated after all.
  +
  +
::::CASSAVA: It saddens me to posit this, my friends, but I believe we need to build a more sophisticated device if we want to find the exact location of the <span style="color:lightblue">Eye of the universe</span>.
  +
  +
:::::THATCH: Then we will build it. Don’t lose hope, Cassava; our search for the <span style="color:lightblue">Eye</span> is what brought our clan to this place. We won’t give up so easily!
  +

  +
<strong>Building a new Eye signal locator</strong>
  +
  +
THATCH: Where should this new, more sophisticated locator be built? It may need to be larger than this <span style="color:orange">Eye signal locator</span> is.
  +
  +
:COLEUS: Annona and those of us originally stranded on the <span style="color:lightblue">Ember Twin</span> built a <span style="color:orange">Quantum Moon locator</span> there, but the heat of the <span style="color:lightblue">sun</span> made its construction challenging. I wouldn’t recommend building on that planet.
  +
  +
:PLUME: The southern glacier on <span style="color:lightblue">Brittle Hollow</span> has ample available space. I could construct a new building to house this proposed locator.
  +
  +
::FILIX: Yes, let’s build there! I imagine our young friend Conoy would enjoy that immensely. He’s always held a great interest in the <span style="color:lightblue">Eye</span>, especially for a child born so long after the crash.
  +
  +
:::PLUME: I will begin construction on <span style="color:lightblue">Brittle Hollow</span>’s south pole immediately, then!

<strong>Riebeck's notes</strong>
  +
  +
Okay, wow. ''Wow''. I’ve seen this ruin in other travelers’ pictures, but seeing it for myself…
  +
  +
It’s really old, isn’t it?
  +
  +
But wow, this is the coolest day of my life. ...Okay, um, time for some official notes!
  +
  +
So this is some kind of Nomai “locator.” It can point out the different planets - which is incredibly cool, by the way - but from what little I can understand of the writing here, I think it was built to try to find something specific?
  +
  +
I’m not sure. I also was able to translate something about the south pole of Brittle Hollow, so I’ll fly there to see if I can learn more.
  +
  +
Yep. Just gonna get back in the ol’ ship and take off. Totally safe... Mostly safe. <span style="font-size:70%;">Oh, stars above</span>...

This is an old crater. The neat thing here is that the composition of the samples I took from the impact site matches the composition of the ice on the outskirts of <span style="color:lightblue">Dark Bramble</span>.
  +

I’d posit the <span style="color:lightblue">Attlerock</span> was hit with a piece of the planet that used to be where <span style="color:lightblue">Dark Bramble</span> now lies.

To follow up on — maybe there are more fragments of the old planet <span style="color:lightblue">Dark Bramble</span> destroyed on other astral bodies in the solar system?

Revision as of 18:22, 12 September 2020


The Attlerock is the only natural satellite of Timber Hearth. It is almost entirely barren, the terrain mostly level except where it is pocked with deep craters. There are a few large craters with pieces of information in them, and the first Eye Signal Locator you will find in the game, along with being the first mention of the Eye of the Universe in Nomai texts.

Locations

Lunar Outpost

The Lunar Outpost is where Esker lives, it used to serve as a pit-stop for Hearthians making their first space flight, back when there were much more crashes. Within the outpost you will find Esker themself, their wooden lodge, a campfire where you can roast marshmallows, and trees to refill your oxygen supply.

Esker offers a few conversations, and admits to sometimes shooting little scouts at the village to feel less lonely. Within the outpost you'll also find 3 wooden platforms, the last of which contains Esker's notes on the various spacefaring Hearthian's instruments, this will help point you towards Riebeck, and Feldspar.

Lunar Lookout

The Lunar Lookout is located at the Attlerock's north pole, not far from the Lunar Outpost. It consists of a set of platforms set in the north pole crater, the last of which has a lamp and a notepad. This is where Esker used their signalscope to monitor the solar system, track the other travelers, and even spy on conversations down on Timber Hearth.

Eye Signal Locator

The Attlerock is home to the first, and most simple Eye Signal Locator, the Nomai attempted to use the Attlerock to pinpoint the location of the Eye of the Universe.. The locator has 4 different settings, you can ask it to locate the Sun, Giant's Deep, Brittle Hollow, or the Eye of the Universe, it will align with the Sun, Giant's Deep, and Brittle Hollow respectively and allow you to listen to their respective signals, but if you try to locate the Eye of the Universe, it will rotate randomly and never settle on a location.

On the lower level you will find some Nomai writing directing you to the next of the Eye Signal Locators, at the Southern Observatory on Brittle Hollow.

Large Impact Crater

There is a large impact crater on the dark side of the Attlerock, it has large shards of what appear to be ice, and there is a lantern and some Hearthian tools, along with a recording from Chert next to one of the shards. The recording states Chert's hypothesis that a piece of the planet that used to be dark bramble was sent hurtling off, and crashed into the Attlerock, and left these chunks of ice.
