Hollow Meridian
A pilgrimage that lets you get lost on purpose
9.2 out of 10
The map lies, the bells tell the truth, and the fights finally have somewhere to go.
The public desk
Every release gets a public audit.
Staff reviews sit next to member filings. Hardware, advice, news, and a live room share the same scale: hours, a name, and a number you can argue with.

Is 6.8 fair for Salt & Static?
Theo’s filing calls the first hour a live wire and the rest a hallway. I finished it and think the monster schedule is the horror. Curious where the room landed, not just the editor.
