The Tree Puzzle

Of all the puzzles leading to the places of protection, this one is probably the most obtuse. Enter the cabin and walk up to the boiler, turn around, and click on the safe beside the door, then click the three buttons until the combination reads 724. Pull the handle and click on the matchbox inside the safe to grab a match, then drag the match across the striking surface to light it.

Turn around and go to the boiler to touch the match to the pilot light at the bottom left. Begin cranking the valve (click and hold) in a clockwise direction (the rotational arrows will be green), stopping after about 20 cranks. You'll hear a loud noise - this is the sound of an "elevator" in the tree you see through the window in the cabin moving upward because of the pressure the boiler is generating.

 
  Use the match you found in the safe to light the pilot light on the boiler, then crank the valve clockwise until you hear a loud noise.
   

Give the tree elevator time to travel all the way to the top (you'll hear a succession of those loud noises), then crank counter-clockwise to lower the pressure to zero (watch the gauge) and send the elevator back down. As soon as the gauge drops to zero, exit the cabin and go behind it (go outside, turn around, and click to the right of the cabin). When the elevator is flush with the ground, move inside and travel to a small underground room - and there you'll find the book that takes you to the Channelwood Age. To return to the surface, crank the valve in the room clockwise to increase the pressure and send the elevator upwards again.

 
  This tree has a hidden entrance that appears after you fire up the boiler in the wooden shed.
   

Now that you've found every book, you can travel to any of the ages you like to retrieve the red and blue book pages Sirrus and Achenar requested. Since we're already at the book taking us to the Channelwood Age, we'll go there first.
