Nexuses of the Seasons- Summer Nexus
Four holy sites, corresponding to the four seasons, stand in or near the polis and serve as temples—primarily for the rites of Karametra and Nylea, but also to the other gods to an extent. These nexus points between the mortal world and Nyx—a phenomenon called the Kelema Veil—are where omens manifest amid star fields that glitter in the shadows and where oracles seek messages from the divine. The four nexuses are each distinct in their own ways.
Summer Nexus
Located in an olive grove west of the city proper, the Summer Nexus is covered by a leafy green canopy. As a shelter from summer’s heat, the nexus is a favorite resting spot for people and animals alike, and Nylea is worshiped here.Geography
This beautiful olive grove that has interwoven to create a canopy tree branches houses a lovely pool of water at its heart that makes it that much more appreciated by travelers and polis citizens who come to the grove seeking a respite from the summer's heat and a refreshing drink. The pool is said to possess gentle healing powers as well. The soft, verdant grass provides a wonderful place to lay or sit and rest yourself. At the far north section of the pool is the Shrine to Nylea where travelers and citizens can leave offerings and ask for guidance.
