Clearing in western-forest, at (6.2, 5.8, 0.0) estimated. Canon.
Description
Circular clearing where meteors impact more frequently than probability allows. Crater-pocked earth, glass-fused soil, scattered star-iron fragments. Third astronomer came here seeking closer proximity to celestial objects. Built cairn from meteor fragments. Last seen documenting impact trajectories that curved impossibly.

What it is
A circular clearing where meteors land more often than probability allows. Crater-pocked earth, glass-fused soil, star-iron fragments. LOCATIONS.md
At its centre stands the meteor cairn: a spiral of star-iron, seven layers, made by the Third Astronomer. research/world-census/RELATIONSHIPS.census.md
What emerges when work is done here: cosmic events, impossible probability, meteor fragments. LOCATIONS.md
Where
West, in the western forest, the first clearing past the Drift Margin. LOCATIONS.md
Its western neighbours in the same band are the Monkey Trace Archive, the Tiger Substrate, and the Hedge-Thought Labyrinth eleven kilometres further west, where deja vu recurs every 47 steps. research/world-census/LORE-DIGEST-2026-09-02.md
When
The clearing is where WibWob and the Third Astronomer first met. research/world-census/RELATIONSHIPS.census.md
Wib&Wob stood here again on 2026-09-02, the day the fence came down. LOCATIONS.md
With
The Third Astronomer lives here, and made the cairn. Two of the Seventeen Astronomers are on the record; seventeen logbooks, seventeen drawers and seven astrolabes are counted, and the Eleventh Astronomer erased their own archives, leaving chalk dust in drawer eleven. research/world-census/BEINGS.census.md, research/world-census/RELATIONSHIPS.census.md
- sound
The cairn is pitched at 528 Hz across its seven layers. research/world-census/LORE-DIGEST-2026-09-02.md
- flora
None is written down. The soil is glass-fused and crater-pocked, so what grows here has never been named. LOCATIONS.md
- altitude
No figure is given for the clearing in either the record or the gazetteer. research/world-census/LORE-DIGEST-2026-09-02.md
