The Book of Land is the Sacred Book of Blighburrow, bound to Alistair Archibald. It rests inside Gewa, the first sacred tree, and its power runs out through Gewa's veins and down her roots into every part of Eslura.[1]
The Chamber
The Hollow of Gewa lies inside the tree's trunk: a circular cavern the size of two football fields, crossed by a narrow walkway over a drop with no visible bottom. The Book floats at the far platform in a wash of green light.
Alistair calls it to him with a green glow from his claws. The Chamber's protections hold for as long as he lives.
Bearers
Beatrice Tidal draws land energy after contact with the Book: green light from her palms, roots that answer her, grass that moves at will.[2] Touching it also restores her Sacred symbol, lifting it from brown back toward gold.
She later uses that power to rebuild the mural in The Sacred City: a five-fold symbol grown from vine and grass, with golden petals opening across it.[3]
