Mirea was delayed so Bobbi Bear and Teacher Vance decided to check out the lodestone compass that was left in a box at our home palace by Ari Bin Lazar.

When held in the hand the compass has a pointer on it that show the direction you should travel to the 'hidden build'. That direction was pretty much due east from out house, so we followed it out the trimmed paths to the river and crossed into the badlands terracotta-formed biome. We could see from there a spire of light going skyward, not exactly the way to hide a build :-).  It led us to Ari's train creation, and we could see that Ari was there. I used the map to try to locate Ari but he must have been underground because our icons crossed paths on the vertical plane but obviously not on the horizontal one. After exploring what progress he'd made on this build (we had stumbled on this place before) I noticed the compass was still pointing east so we went that way until nightfall when we could see Ari's huge balloon looming overhead. At that point we called it a night.
