Trivia
- This Delve's run during July 2022 was chosen by members of the Discord server, and is the first official case of this happening.
- This Delve frequently rotates in during December or January to match the Lightcatchers migrating to Chroma Coast for the winter. It has also rarely rotated in when they return to Crop Circle Canyon in spring.
