Location from Cradle by Will Wight
The sacred peak of the valley — home to ancestral trees whose vital aura draws sacred artists to meditate beneath them, and a doorway to something ancient below.
Mount Samara is Sacred Valley's most revered location — the ancestral trees near its summit concentrate what little vital aura the suppression field allows, making it the best cycling location in the valley. Clans compete for meditation slots on its platforms. The mountain also contains the primary entrance to the Labyrinth, though this knowledge has been lost to all but Elder Whisper. The higher you climb, the more the mountain feels ancient and aware. The Transcendent Ruins near the top predate the current clans by millennia, and razor hawks nest in the crags — gold-feathered predators that attack anyone who strays from the marked paths.
A massive mountain dominating the northern end of Sacred Valley, its peak permanently shrouded in luminous clouds. Ancestral trees grow near the summit — enormous specimens whose roots glow with concentrated vital aura. Stone stairs carved into the mountainside lead to meditation platforms. The air grows thinner but richer with each elevation, and the clouds around the peak shimmer with colors that don't match normal atmospheric phenomena.
