|Geography=The outpost is built into a natural widening of the Deep Road, where the stone becomes smoother and the air carries steady drafts from the lower tunnels. Its main chamber is oval-shaped and set with dry platforms, carved benches, and reinforced arches. A short side tunnel leads to a signal bell shaft that connects to Kar-Thal’s deeper monitoring system. | |Geography=The outpost is built into a natural widening of the Deep Road, where the stone becomes smoother and the air carries steady drafts from the lower tunnels.
