Mount Maenalus, Arcadia

A working olive grove in an otherwise unremarkable stretch of Greek countryside, distinguished only by the tomb at its center and the tree that grew from it noticeably faster, and in a noticeably more purposeful direction, than the rest of the grove.

Whereabouts: An olive grove and the ruins of an old villa on Mount Maenalus, in the Arcadia region of the Greek Peloponnese.

Access: By ordinary travel to rural Arcadia; the grove itself is unremarkable to look at, which the Archive notes is precisely the problem.
