Memorial Forests

The Memorial Forests cover forty percent of Trisurus Prime's surface. Each grove preserves the reconstructed ecosystem of a collapsed crystal sphere — soil chemistry, plant species, insect populations, fungi networks — maintained by Arcis families as a living record of worlds that no longer exist.

The forests are the physical embodiment of the Arcis belief that memory must be embodied to be real. A database preserves information. A forest preserves a world.

Heritage fabrics woven from fibers cultivated in specific groves form the foundation of Arcis formal dress, and grove affiliation is one of the primary markers of Arcis identity.
