The first sphere (which is how Ahnonay is most often depicted) is made up of rocks, grass, and trees under a pinkish overcast sky. The water has a very strong current, possibly operated by a wave pool device in the Age that always leads to the lagoon. There is a small stone tower containing tiny lights inside as well as a secret door from which Kadish could spy on visitors | The first sphere (which is how Ahnonay is most often depicted) is made up of rocks, grass, and cherry trees under a pinkish overcast sky. The water has a very strong current, possibly operated by a wave pool device in the Age that always leads to the lagoon. There is a small stone tower containing tiny lights inside as well as a secret door from which Kadish could spy on visitors control the current. While it appears that from the island you can see several other islands with buildings, these islands are in fact mesh canvas facades. Small, triangular, triple-legged crab-like creatures called [[quab]]s also inhabit this sphere, though it is unknown whether they were placed there by Kadish, or if they found their way in after the Fall. | ||

Hidden in the wall of each sphere is a maintenance station. The first sphere's station is accessible once the water current has been deactivated, while the others can only be reached via [[Shell cloth]]. Each station has the sphere's number in [[D'ni numerals]] painted on the wall inside a gear design that mimics the shape of the sphere mechanism. The stations appear to be in a state of considerable disrepair, and only the fourth sphere's station has a working door leading to the rest of the machine. | Hidden in the wall of each sphere is a maintenance station.

From the center of the sphere machine, a [[vogondola]] provides transportation around the Age's natural ring waterfall to an office workstation and sleeping bunk. The office features a view back to the sphere machine, and a gantry extends out from the far side of the room, across from the main entrance. As explorers activate Shell cloths, a [[linking portal]] in the shape of [[The Path of the Shell]] gradually forms at the end of this gantry. When the portal is complete, it provides access to a [[Bahro cave | From the center of the sphere machine, a [[vogondola]] provides transportation around the Age's natural ring waterfall to an office workstation and sleeping bunk.
