The Outer Reaches of the Luminous Grove mark the first transition between the known territories and the deeper luminous regions beyond. Travellers describe vast root bridges suspended above glowing waterways and colossal arboreal structures whose scale resists measurement. The waterways emit a faint bioluminescent radiance, believed by some to be a natural phenomenon and by others to be a form of planetary communication.
Many crossings are watched.
Whether by travellers, guardians, or merely those waiting their turn remains uncertain.
The inhabitants of the region rarely speak of destinations. Instead they speak of passages.
The journey itself appears to hold greater significance than arrival.
