Final Antennae

The Final Antennae/Top Antennae/Third Antennae/Third Level Antennae, are situated on the highest top of Vuori, Korfi Zacharitsa, 468 meters above the ground. They bear the names (from left to right) Alhaf(the acre, sentinel) Alzill(the hidden one, the shadow) (*destroyed*) Alwasat(the middle) Alrasiaan(the hefty one) and Alkarij(the lonely one) .

They mark the highest destination in Vuori and their view stands as the last one a person has heading to Chaidari, from the mountain as a whole. Ever since they were reached by the Vuoriors, they have contributed to the spread of Vuori's image and reputation almost as no other location.

These antennae appeared on most of Vuori Chronicles, including #1 Song of Vuori, #4 Sunset on Vuori , #7 Vuori: Secrets on the Long Road as well as in the Series Finale Vuori: Woods of Albaedinan.
They belong to location *Zacharitsa* , or sometimes Known with their own name of *Keraies Telikes*.

## Reaching

The Final Antennae were conquered late evening, Saturday, April 18 2015. On a grant excursion to Vuori the Vuoriors visited Where Partridges Gather once more, and soon located the big dirt road, known as The Long Road behind a thick woods on the left of the Partridge top. With the Sun setting and a huge road to cross, the team was split, and vuoriors James Kingston with Sotiris Annis continued up to the Zacharitsa top. Turning left on the bifurcation close to the Chaidari tops, the small trek was followed, until the Antennae were reached. Several pictures were taken, as well as videos.

Later, in Winter 2015, the rest of the Vuoriors joined *James Kingston* and *Sotiris Annis* to the Antennae, shortly before conquering the Chaidari Antennae too.

## Description and Classification

The Final Antennae are 5 and they are found on the Zacharitsa top, the highest top in Vuori. 4 of them are of normal size, and 1 is heavier and bulkier than the rest. There is a large Radio station beneath them, which is fenced and equipped with signs forbidding visitors from entering.

Some of the antennae also have a red tracking light, which turns on around late evening, depending on the Season. On the right of the station, there is also a tiny honorary chapel, including photos of saints, some candles, and candle oil.

A small New Testament book has been placed in it as of March 17, 2020.

In front of the Antennae, on the edge, several photos have been taken, where one can have a view of the whole city of *Athens*, including *Peristeri* *Petroupoli* , *Chaidari* and many more. On the back of the antennae, beyond the lower tops of Vuori, one can see the plains and factories of *Aspropyrgos* and even the coasts of island *Salamina*, even further than the Road Whose End Is Not Known.

On April16, 2020, during the 5th conquest of the Final Antennae top by Vuorior James Kingston, who was accompanied by Tasos Katsoudas, Fanis and Alexis Giannakis, an Antenna Graveyard was discovered shortly off the the boundaries of Alwasat. Destroyed construction material, abandoned poles and cables as well forgotten screwbolt chests revealed the existence of an old antenna which has remained broken and neglected. Though overlooking the Athens Panorama in a poetically sad way, the sight simply serves to add to the melancholia the trash and abandoned debris scarring the natural environment of the mountain offer to the visitor.

It was recently discovered that the antenna tomb belongs to the smallest of the Five Antennae, Alzill.

## Lone Antenna

The *Lone Antenna* is the 4th Antenna from the final ones counting from the left, the closest one to the Long Road and the Peristeri side of Vuori. It Is slightly elongated from the rest of the Antennae, hence the name and it can clearly be seen from almost anywhere in Peristeri and also parts of Korydallos and Petroupoli. Several angles of it have been shot, especially due to the fact that it lies close to the edge, allowing for spectacular photography to occur.

Bears the name Alkarij (the Lonely One).

On March 17, 2020, the Lone Antenna was finally conquered from the front side, by Vuoriors James Kingston, Sotiris Annis and Tasos Katsoudas.

## Animals

Vuori as a whole has been claimed to be in danger, mainly due to the killing of its precious fauna and occasional arsonists destroying parts of land and plants/trees. Several foxes, turtles and partridges wander around the Mountain, however, during the trips of the Vuoriors, foxes are known to be the animals with the higher death rate on the location. Only in Spring 2015 's excursion, 4 fox carcasses were noticed. Strangely enough, they were not even skinned, indicating illegal poachers were hunting them to fend off attacks of their coops on the lower tops, around The Monastere. Shortly after the excursion to the top, several howls were also heard, however the possibility of wolves residing in the Mountain is rather low.
