"The Blood Nest Great Tree, as your classroom, seeks only one thing from you, and that is creativity, new knowledge."
"Among you, the best of the best, like the Plague Doctor, if your work is deemed excellent by Nola, she will recognize you as part of the Hive. That means, in your future research, you will carry a library of Spirit Summoning Studies with you. Knowledge is power, and power brings privileges. Once you have passed all of Nola's tests, your knowledge will be acknowledged as worth remembering and stored in the central Memory Stone."
"The Blood Nest Great Tree keeps this knowledge not just for transmission but also as a means of attack."
"If necessary, the twelve hundred hives of the Blood Nest Great Tree will work round the clock to produce. Using the accumulated knowledge of Spirit Summoning Studies, it can become an inexhaustible arms factory, and the production of the simplest three locks creation takes about two hours."
