Arcane Grove
Arcane Grove is a Nexus District located in the South-Western portion of the Hours Jurisdiction. It is primarily defined by the EW Arterial Road at its norther border, and the Hours Express Rail at it's south-eastern border; separating it from Railheart Crossing.
Like all Hours Districts, Arcane Grove shows a varied mixture of the four primary architectual styles that make up Nexus, although the Medieval Fantasy and Americana Moderna have increased presence.
Within this district lies an entryway into the City's Underground, primarily the Arachnid Enclave.
Arcane Grove is primarily zoned for historical maintenance and business; though there are a few residences on the north western portion of the district, closer to Harmony Heights.
