Name	Image	Description
Corroded Weaving Roots		The oak has been gnawed to a hollow ruin, its void echoing with a chirping that, to some ears, sounds like the whispers of fallen gods.

Oak Manor		Once part of the Dewlight Pavilion, it has long since been abandoned and sunk into the unknown depths of the Primordial Memory Zone.
The Road Not Taken		What's gone is gone forever. When he turned to seek the path he deemed right, it was already too late: His very act was itself an embodiment of despair.

Investigations

Bookshelf

Investigate

Everything is in its proper place: simple, pristine, and perfectly organized.

The ornate clocks, the lines formed by organized books, and even every gilded letter on their spines. It all seemed to mystically conform to some grand and harmonious proportion.

The power of Harmony overtows. The purest satisfaction rises warmly, filling your chest. If you stay here any longer, you might just pass out from sheer bliss.

Desk

Investigate
(Dialogue is randomized): Among the many branching paths of Penacony's destiny, this one has reached its end... with nothing but an endless void lying ahead.; An old wheelchair stands like a tombstone at the end of the road.; The books, pens, and papers remain on the desk, but they'll never see their owner again.

Flower Bud

Investigate
(Dialogue is randomized): First came a thick, cloying fragrance, followed by an exhilarated dance of the stamen... Seemingly detecting the familiar-yet-dangerous aura about you, the flower's stamen suddenly paused, shrinking back into its bud.; The flower bud pulsates with a certain rhythmic beat. Following that, crimson spores gush forth.; You've heard about planets tainted by the Propagation, where spores can even take root in travelers' nasal cavities. For the sake of your olfactory health, you probably shouldn't get too close.

First Lookout

Lookout

The hollowed-out starscape, reduced to a breeding ground for the Swarm's offsprings... The dreamscape revealed a cruel memory to you.

In the era ravaged by True Sting, the Swarm secreted mucus connecting corroded celestial bodies, weaving massive nets spanning light-years across space.

For worlds that had witnessed this sight, all they could do was pray and wait.

Second Lookout

Lookout; The hollowed-out starscape, reduced to a breeding ground for the Swarm's offsprings... The dreamscape revealed a cruel memory to you.; The hands of Ena lacerated the night sky, as insect eggs burst open, unleashing the power of Propagation.; Scarcity. Just one distant glance, and you feel the overwhelming scarcity. Your spine begins to think, your mouthparts clicking and grinding, yearning to fill the empty void in your chest with a feast of flesh and blood... You'd better look away.
(Obtain Achievement Murmurs of the Long Slumber)

Mushroom

Investigate
(Dialogue is randomized): At this rate of growth, these fungi might just develop their own dazzling civilization and put on a show of power struggles for the throne in some dark corner of the universe.; In the spirit of scientific curiosity, you touched the tissue attached to the fungus. Soft, slimy, elastic, and a bit spicy-hot. Your conclusion: don't touch it next time.; This massive mushroom, tainted by the Propagation, could probably provide sustenance for ages.

Rubble

Investigate
(Dialogue is randomized): Being a fellow vessel for Stellarons, you can't help but feel a kindred spirit with them.; Conspiracies and disputations, creation and death, and grand aspirations worth betting one's life on... Though it feels like you just witnessed it all, it's already become a tale of the past.; This "Cocoon of Extinction" had woven a suspended web of silk, successfully luring and trapping the fyreflies that came searching.
