The Hearth

The Hearth is the sun of Regolus Prime, and the home to the gods of the Crucible. It is a crystalline structure that tapers to a point at the bottom, and is comprised of nine levels.
The Hearth was created by Yla, and contains her potter's wheel.Session 1, Regolus: Genesis. The Hearth.
== Levels of the Hearth ==
=== World Beacon ===
The first level of the Hearth, located at its base point, is the World Beacon, or Regolārydem in Celestial. This is the method by which the gods travel to Regolus Prime. According to Væxtaar, the World Beacon may be altered to travel elsewhere.
=== Mindbleed ===
The second level of the Hearth is the Mindbleed, a large and seemingly bottomless, disclike pool. The gods use this "pond of thought and vision" to look upon whatever they choose to see.
=== Corridors of Learning ===
The Corridors of Learning are the third level of the Hearth and one of Kirrehan's workspaces, where he stores his writing and studies magic itself. This level is made of ever-shifting columns.
=== Reliquary of the Divine ===
The Reliquary of the Divine is the fourth level of the Hearth, created to receive the worship and offerings made to the gods. When first shown to the gods, it is an empty chamber containing only a table and bowl-like altar. According to Yla, the Reliquary was not created intentionally.
=== Altarhold ===
Altarhold is the fifth level of the Hearth. It is a cave-like, rounded oval room with a slightly domed ceiling, and contains individually-colored doorways which serve as tethers from each of the gods' private domains to the Hearth. No god may enter another's private domain without permission.
=== Sunforge ===
The Sunforge is the sixth level of the Hearth and Dami-Yno's workspace. The terrain is an expanse of wheat and grass, under daytime constellations. In the center is a 600-meter wide disc of white marble with steps carved into the sloped sides. Gold veins in the marble all expand outward from the forge in the center: a golden anvil inset with a glowing molten sphere. There, Dami-Yno shapes aether to create items of tangible and intangible nature for himself and the other gods. Dami-Yno leaves access to the Sunforge open, unlike other godly domains which remain private.
=== Chamber of the Fates ===
The Chamber of the Fates is the seventh level of the Hearth. At its default, it is a cubic, empty room lined with hexagons which can transform into different types of spaces. The Chamber of the Fates serves as an experimental room, and Sindar likes to use it as a fighting arena.
=== Starkeep ===
Starkeep is the eighth level of the Hearth, where the gods meet to discuss and make important decisions. It is a long, oval-shaped meeting room with glasslike walls and stone seats for each of the gods. The room contains a hexagonal table which uses tiny metallic hexagonal particles to create three-dimensional visual displays.
=== Blind Cartographer ===
The Blind Cartographer is the ninth level of the Hearth and Yla's workspace. It contains the gate to the cosmos and Yla's potter's wheel, upon which she shaped her children. No one is permitted to access the Blind Cartographer unless they are with Yla.
