|Introduction=Lainer Station is a sealed and abandoned settlement located along the Deep Road between the eastern terminus [[Lavierin]] and western terminus [[Seruric Station]]. Once a functioning rest and trade station, it was lost to an unexplained tunnel collapse.
|Geography=The ruin lies in a wide-cut chamber carved into red-veined basalt strata, with collapsed arches and fractured pylons leading into destabilized corridors. The surrounding tunnelwork is warped, partially fused, and in places appears melted. Access is blocked by reinforced seal-plates and a locked barrier gate.
|Etymology=''Lainer'' is the Arânzeni word for "misty".
|History=Originally founded by the [[Duranthi]] as a mining town, Kharum-Zhal grew into the largest waystation between Kar-Thal and Telenkar Hold during the early Deep Road expansions. Its sudden collapse devastated the settlement. No official recovery efforts were ever undertaken.
