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.
Etymology
Lainer is the Arânzeni word for "misty".
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. Reinforced seal-plates and a locked barrier gate block access.
History
Originally founded by the Arânzeni as a mining town, Lainer Station grew into the largest waystation between Lavierin and Seruric station during the early Deep Road expansions. Its sudden collapse in 781 ME devastated the settlement and closed the Lav-Lep Deep Road for several years. No official recovery efforts were ever undertaken.
Threats and Dangers
The region surrounding Lainer Station is considered unstable.
