Abacadarium

Bricks were made and baked and raised, and there came a moment when, all of a sudden, the Abacadarium stood complete. Clouds streamed over it and off its edges, like water, and kites floated from it like the distant leaves of a branchless tree.First view of the completed Pagoda - https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4953175The Abacadarium, also known as the Official Pagoda, is the Holy Site of Chopstick Eyes, situated in the center of the Feasting Forest. It is a nine-storey pagoda several hundred meters tall, made mostly of wood and ceramic and supported by either magic or an internal steel skeleton. It is the headquarters of the Lanternhead order.
The pagoda is built on a square of cleared, paved and gardened forest many dozens of meters across, though not so wide as the structure is tall. A large stream runs through the center of the grounds in a series of channels, with some of its water diverted out into the gardens and under or through the ground floor of the structure. All channels converge at the far end of the grounds and continue through the forest. This garden hosts many illustrations hung up by the lanternheads for drying or display, and they often spend time relaxing here.
The ground floor of the pagoda is by far the largest, and can accomodate ten thousand worshippers without crowding. Most lanternheads tend to spend their time in the higher floors, where it is slightly less humid, although the stifling perpetual fog of the Feasting Forest frequently wraps much of the building in clouds. During construction, the pagoda had a number of Phase Beasts crawling around its grounds and walls, invisible as usualEarly look at the Pagoda -https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4937622. They're probably still there.
Many kites, mostly eyekites, are flown from the windows of the Abacadarium by the Lanternheads, and some sky lanterns bob around inside, helping to keep the humidity stable. The building served as the birthplace of both lanternheads and spitfires. During its construction, it was visited by Vrog, and until its completion it served as a home for Karamir, who was curious about how Chopstick could make such a tower, and spent much time exercising his use of mana within its grounds.
