Report going from Avenue North to Base of the Great Tree: say "You walk up forty or fifty steps, passing great roots that thicken more and more as they tumble down the carved rock, till at last you reach the top, at the very base of the mighty tree itself.". Report going from Avenue North to Ancient Temple: say "You walk down the brick path through endless groves of windsigh.".[aar]

Report going from Base of the Great Tree to Great Tree Interior: say "Pausing for a moment, your hand brushes the aged, gnarled wood of the portal, and a low, low thrum pulses through your fingers, like that of the windsigh on Lacuna, but dim octaves lower. Taking a deep breath, you duck your head and step inside into a round, cavernously tall space.". Report going from Great Tree Interior to Base of the Great Tree: say "You duck your head and slip back out into the dimming twilight of Heart.".
