The Ovon is the home of the Neke, one of the most influential Chitin Queens clan-groups in all of Top. Inside, it is a maze of imposing halls and tiny, hidden nooks, linked by a tangled maze of tunnels and corridors. The Ovon itself is alive, with new rooms and structures grown rather than made, and extends through extradimensional space to include open-air gardens and portals to other areas of Top within its dome. |

Residents and places |
Directions |
|
Amanita has made the Ovon her home for the past couple of years, and was its de facto ruler before the Neke returned from their mysterious and lengthy absence (see Return of the Neke). Her current position is unclear. |
|
From the Nexus: go to Top, then go along the road and in. |
|
Twin calls the Ovon (her) home as well. (Her) role in its society is unclear, beyond "ruler's pet". Perhaps "regent", in the rumor-wrapped absence of Amanita. |
|
(The Ovon is currently in a state of transformation, and many places within it are subject to change.) |
|
Okyno and Atcinna are among the first generation of the returned Neke, bent on restoring their palace to its ancient glory. |
