Landmarks

Camp Tranquil

A Gridanian outpost, Camp Tranquil stands atop a stone towering over Rootslake. The Sixth Spear of the Wood Wailers is garrisoned here, led by former Company of Heroes' member, Captain Landenel.

Constructed by Highwind Skyways to serve as a landing for cargo airships, this location was quickly abandoned when the imperial presence in the area became too large to ignore, now the site is used as a makeshift market where bandits and poachers peddle their ill-gotten wares far from the eyes of the law.

The Lost City of Amdapor

The Lost City of Amdapor had long been cloaked by the elementals so that none might stumble upon its terrible secrets. The Calamity weakened the area's earth aspect, however, and the place now wants for a good cleansing of the fetid fungus that has infested its halls.
