• Rite: Set it down anywhere. It is ready at once. See The way into each world.
• Arrival: a Threshold platform at the centre of your group's parcel. The boss arena is 160 blocks south (positive Z).

At doll scale

World 10 is the Artisan's workshop seen by a doll. On its felt floor lie things many times your height. They are scenery: no chest, no page, and they do not count for the "visit the structures" achievements.

Prop	What it is
Giant Spool	A wooden spool wound with coloured thread, standing or on its side, its loose end trailing on the floor
Giant Nail	A nail driven into the floor at a slant, its head a platform, or one lying on its side; a little rust
Giant Pin	A dressmaker's pin with a round coloured head
Giant Button	A flat button with four holes, sometimes still sewn through
Giant Thimble	A dimpled thimble with a dent you can walk in by, lit inside
Wood Offcuts	Boards cut off the Artisan's work, lying across each other under felt scraps
Giant Scissors	A pair of scissors left open
Giant Pencil	A sharpened yellow pencil with its eraser

The Titanic Workbench and the Maquette

The Titanic Workbench is a carpenter's bench as tall as a house: four great legs, a 33-block top reached by a ladder up one leg, the Artisan's hammer, saw, rule, spool and nails on it, and hidden chests in its drawer, on the spool and under it.

At the centre of its top, a birch board in a gold frame holds the Maquette: a scale model of your own base. When your group's Traveller's Matryoshka opens World 10, the 64 x 32 x 64 blocks around it (8 below, 24 above) are sampled at a quarter scale, each 4 x 4 x 4 cube becoming its most common solid block. The first time someone of your group comes to the workbench, the 16 x 8 x 16 model is built there with real blocks. Water shows as light blue glass, lava as orange glass, falling blocks as sandstone or cobblestone, chests and other block entities as spruce planks, and your World Block as gold.

A World 10 opened before the Maquette existed uses the group's first World Block, its bed or the world spawn instead, sampled from a member of the owning group.

The rule: Synthesis

Synthesis: the world is cut into square zones of 256 x 256 blocks arranged in a 3 x 3 pattern that repeats every 768 blocks. Each zone runs the rule of one earlier world, numbered 1 + (x / 256 mod 3) + 3 x (z / 256 mod 3).

Zone column (x / 256 mod 3)	Row 0	Row 1	Row 2
0	World 1 toxin	World 4 wind	World 7 oxygen
1	World 2 heat	World 5 noise	World 8 seasons
2	World 3 locks	World 6 gravity	World 9 tremors

Every countermeasure from the earlier worlds works in its zone. The lights of the World 5 zone burn out, the World 6 zone has its flipped gravity columns and the World 9 zone its moving ground, as in their own worlds; the World 3 zone only gives the warning, its halls do not move. The HUD shows the toxin gauge under the Synthesis label.

Creatures

Creatures spawn naturally in the world (regular ones in groups of 1 to 3, swarms in groups of 2 to 4, elites alone and rarer) and from spawners in combat structures. See the Bestiary for all fifty.
