'''The Moon''' is a grey natural satellite of [[Timber Hearth]] that is almost entirely barren, with perfectly level terrain and very few features. There are a few evergreen trees centered around a campfire and hut, where one of the travelers can be found listening to a radio. The music coming from the radio is a compilation of every traveler's instrument. At the pole, there is a small monument.

*It is possible, if you're careful, to use only your spacesuit to fly from the moon from Timber Hearth, then fly back to the surface of Timber Hearth. You may take a bit of damage on hitting the ground, but if you're careful it's not enough to kill you.

==== Lunar Outpost ====
  +
The Lunar Outpost is where [[Esker]] lives, a small forested camp that used to serve as a pit-stop for [[Hearthian]]s making their first space flight, in their space program's more turbulent days. Within the outpost resides Esker themself at 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 three 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, a large device the Nomai attempted to use to pinpoint the location of the Eye of the Universe. While the Locator is largely in ruins, it can still be operated. The Locator has four different settings, set to locate the [[Sun]], [[Giant's Deep]], [[Brittle Hollow]], or the [[Eye of the Universe]]. Using the former three settings, the outer rings will successfully align with the Sun, Giant's Deep, or Brittle Hollow, and allow you to listen to their respective signals. However, if the Locator is set to align with the Eye of the Universe, it will rotate randomly and never settle on a location.
  +
  +
On the lower level, some Nomai writing may be found providing directions to the second Eye Signal Locator, at the [[Southern Observatory]] on [[Brittle Hollow]].
  +
  +
==== Large Impact Crater ====
  +
There is a large impact crater on the dark side of the Attlerock, dotted with large shards of otherworldly ice. Within the crater itself near a shard can be found a lantern and some Hearthian tools, along with a recording from [[Chert]].
  +
  +
The recording states Chert's hypothesis that a fifth ice planet used to exist in the solar system, before dramatically imploding due to the expansive growth of an infectious seed, becoming what is now known as [[Dark Bramble]]. They believe the crater was formed from a piece of the former planet, sent hurtling off upon Dark Bramble's implosion, crashing into the Attlerock, leaving residual chunks of ice. Chert also hypothesises that similar ice shards may be found throughout the solar system.

<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>.

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, a small forested camp that used to serve as a pit-stop for Hearthians making their first space flight, in their space program's more turbulent days. Within the outpost resides Esker themself at 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 three 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, a large device the Nomai attempted to use to pinpoint the location of the Eye of the Universe. While the Locator is largely in ruins, it can still be operated. The Locator has four different settings, set to locate the Sun, Giant's Deep, Brittle Hollow, or the Eye of the Universe. Using the former three settings, the outer rings will successfully align with the Sun, Giant's Deep, or Brittle Hollow, and allow you to listen to their respective signals. However, if the Locator is set to align with the Eye of the Universe, it will rotate randomly and never settle on a location.

On the lower level, some Nomai writing may be found providing directions to the second Eye Signal Locator, at the Southern Observatory on Brittle Hollow.

Large Impact Crater

There is a large impact crater on the dark side of the Attlerock, dotted with large shards of otherworldly ice. Within the crater itself near a shard can be found a lantern and some Hearthian tools, along with a recording from Chert.

The recording states Chert's hypothesis that a fifth ice planet used to exist in the solar system, before dramatically imploding due to the expansive growth of an infectious seed, becoming what is now known as Dark Bramble. They believe the crater was formed from a piece of the former planet, sent hurtling off upon Dark Bramble's implosion, crashing into the Attlerock, leaving residual chunks of ice. Chert also hypothesises that similar ice shards may be found throughout the solar system.
