Timber carries memory
Every surface records touch, smoke, and repair without losing the old grain beneath.
Height is built in tiers

Ornament keeps watch
Dragon curves mark thresholds, turning simple navigation into a guarded passage.
Darkness gives measure
Muted contrast lets the lit stave, carved edge, and final action read with solemn force.
