'''Coords:''' −496, 75–76, 318–320 (r.-1.0, New Ravenport)

A private room signed by '''Doki''', notable for a two-sign art-philosophy installation: ''Ceci n'est pas une pomme'' — a reference to René Magritte's ''The Treachery of Images'' ("This is not a pipe"), adapted here to an apple. One of the few self-aware conceptual art pieces documented across the Ravenkraft archive.

=== Traveling Circus — 2nd Tour Plaque ===

'''Coords:''' 13, 13–14, −71 (r.0.-1)

A commemorative marker for the second tour of the '''Traveling Circus''', dated '''April 5, 2020''', signed by:

A small underground installation of three signs:

* ''"These rods carry a terrible curse..."''

A dry-humoured enchantment storage display. The censored expletive in the second sign is left to the reader's imagination.

=== "Your Poketree Has Evolved" ===

'''Coords:''' −399, 68, 292 (r.-1.0, New Ravenport)

A single sign reading: ''"Your poketree has evolved to level oak."'' Placed beside a tree or sapling, apparently a player's affectionate note about their tree growing up.
