Greathive Aratel

Greathive Aratel is a location in Deepwoken. It is a settlement in the Aratel Sea.
==Overview==
Greathive Aratel is a city built in a giant tree on the sea. Inside this tree is a large settlement, the Greathive itself.
To enter Greathive Aratel, you must have washed your face at the Lightkeeper Temple (requires you to be at least power 10 to wash your face) on any character or slot, and have visited the eastern luminant at least once on your current character. Once you meet these requirements, you will be able to use the Greathive Fountains found in The Lordsgrove, in The Hidden Village, behind The King's Palace in Etris, and behind a tree near Spelltrainer Friid at the Isle of Vigils. 
Alternatively, you can sail to Greathive Aratel, but actually getting to the top requires mobility mantras, clever usage of gliders, lots of parkour and jumping on the heads of players. If you washed your face at the Lightkeeper Temple and have already invoked the Greathive fountain found in The Lordsgrove, you can sail to the shipyard of the Greathive Aratel and use the fountain in there in order to get teleported up to the entrance floor of Greathive Aratel.

* A reference to a quest in Hollow Knight with the same premise.

==Trivia==
* The music for this area is Of Chitin, Kith And Kin by Naktigonis
*Parts of the Greathive can be seen emitting black particles, which is fireproofing that allows Flamecharm to be used within the Greathive without the whole thing going up in flames.
* The combat music for this area is A Symphony Of Strife by Naktigonis
*Everyone inside Greathive Aratel is a Hivekin: either a Vesperian, Ganymede, or Chrysid.
*The Soulblooms have an option to taste the flower's sap. When attempting to do so, your Character has a violent gut feeling it is not for ingestion and ultimately decides not to.
*The "Temple of the Forgotten Flame" portal can take you to different locations in Upper Erisia.
*In order to summon boats here you need max positive reputation.
*Artifacts are able to spawn at Hive. However, originally, Bankers did not exist in Aratel meaning they couldn't be made use of, without travelling to either Fort Merit or Miner's Landing, for over two years.
*In front of the Blacksmith, there is an orange pool of liquid that can be used to refill the canteen.
*According to Destroyman III, Greathive Aratel makes the best soft shell tacos in the entire Luminant.
*Back in Verse 1, there would be only three Teleporters instead of five.
