Dawn-Bough Grove Basin
Overview
Dawn-Bough Grove Basin is a hidden Fae'ana tidewater grove colony on Dawn-Bough, in a warm wet cut of a world the charts list as vacant. Woven walkways sit over the tide-flats; a founding crownflower grove grows from wild seed. Visitors land at a canopy shelf and follow temperature, mist, and light rules for living Shen'varai stock. A grove-matron receives caste-sealed founding seed here.

- tone
- Hidden tidewater grove on a world the charts list as vacant
- senses
- Warm wet mist off the estuaries, crownflower canopy, glamour-lamps that stop at the basin rim, a matron's hands on a caste-sealed reliquary
- occupantSummary
- A tiny hidden Fae'ana grove colony + Tre'dalmori enablers; a grove-matron; and, out in the grey, a shadowing monopoly-interest hauler
- hazards
- Devotional living-cargo handling older than the crew; felony-tier anagathic law; a rival hauler that may interdict, buy, or sabotage; the arm-wide war-risk of breaking Aelva's monopoly
- connections
- Concord gate one hop to Ee'la (then Khesret); two anonymous lanes; the basin is the only warm-wet cut on a cold dense world
- travelNote
- Descend through grey murk to the canopy landing shelf; the grove and reliquary hall are devotionally restricted; basin-rim posts watch the lane for the shadow hull
- factionTies
- A Fae'ana + Tre'dalmori breakaway grove-colony (unsanctioned by Aelva); the monopoly interest hunting it (Aelva matrons / Mae'lacan / inner-arm pharma); Concord holds the gate, unaware
