CARTOGRAPHER'S VIEW
Where it lies
The Root Vaults appear at the lower edge of the Academy illustration, beneath the Ox Gate. Their named entrance implies depth, but the map does not disclose an invented underground floor plan.
For orientation, read the vaults as a lower-level landmark rather than an imagined set of rooms. Ox Gate appears above them on the public map; no internal passage plan is supplied. The visible relationship between gate and vault is useful when navigating the Academy atlas without treating unknown interiors as established story facts.
THE SIGN'S SHADOW
Why it matters
Boar power concerns roots, buried gates, the earth and hunger that grows with power. Zhu Baojing represents the sign. The origin of the Calendar is treated as a future-book mystery here.
What should remain buried—and who has the right to decide?
