Nameless Vault, The

Level 5 Wood Manse, Reduced to 3 to add an field of Vitality around the Manse.

The Nameless Vault is the non-permanent level 5 Manse that The Twilight created to seal in the Nadir of Inauspicious Fortune. On the outside it appears as a simple structure that barely looks like a stone hut.  It is so overgrown with vines and vegetation that it is barely visible. 99% of the structure is underground and is a huge maze of shifting walls, dead ends, pitfalls, and deadly ambush positions. It is designed to be incredibly defensible and is armed with deadly guardians.

Even though the Demesne the Manse caps is a level 5 Wood Demesne that bestows all things around it with hyper fertility the manse is actually designed to channel that energy into the grounds around itself. It generates a field of hyper fertility that is relatively safe and ensures the health and vitality of an area half a mile in diameter. In this area plants grow lush and green to vivid, almost crystal candy like, colors.  People exposed to long periods start to gain a slight green tint to their hair and skin – almost like Wood Aspect Dragon-Bloods. In the area of its effect plants grow, mature, and bear fruit at thrice their normal speed and wounds heal in half the required time. Mundane illnesses are automatically resisted and magical illnesses are resisted at +2 dice pool. This intentional channeling of Wood Essence lessens the Hearthstone level that is produced to level 3.

At the center of the Manse is the Nameless Vault. Inside is a sphere of Obsidian 21’ in radius. This sphere of obsidian is apparently solid but in reality consists of 1’ thick alternating layers of Obsidian and Orichalcum. In the center seals the Nadir of Inauspicious Fortune. The obsidian ensures that its corrupting influence is forever contained and the Orichalcum ensure that no power less than that of the Exalted will ever breach such seal. This block is floating in vault chamber that is 200’ wide on all sides and is constantly patrolled by at least 2 Adeptus Astartes’ guardians and their automaton aids. Should this room be breeched, the Manse automatically sends a beam of light straight into the sky visible from horizon to horizon and will remain so until it is turned off by a Key held by Gladrien Vanja.

As far from the Vault as possible, at the deepest part of the Manse, is the Hearthstone room. Inside is produces a Gemstone of Mental Health which is passed around amongst the Adeptus Astartes guardians as they take their rotating patrol duties in the nameless vault.

Aided by Arianna’s Demon Constructors, Nejimaru used The Autochthon Solution and Wyld-Shaping Technique to create this structure in less than a month.  He then ventured into the Deep Wyld to create the automaton guardian force.  Arianna insisted on following and the rest of their Circle followed.  In the deep plasmatic insanity of the Wyld they bore witness to the true power a Solar of the First Age as The Twilight shaped infinite potential with his charms and will and formed an army out of nothing.  This deeply divided the Solars of Rathess on the roles of Solars both in and over Creation as it opened up possibilities undreamt of previously.

However, being shaped reality these things are not permanent. They only remain so for as long as they interact with permanent beings whose acknowledgement of their existences gives them substance. Since the Thunder God of Rathess has bestowed the rank of Adeptus Astartes on 5 newly chosen Novus then charged them with the sole duty of ensuring the manse is never breached, their constant presence ensures that the manse and its guardians will never fade away.
