Landmarks

The Dragging Tail

Likened to the long, curved tail of a Mord, this tunnel is a repurposed mineshaft which provides a direct passage from Mord Souq to the central hills.

Built high up to catch the wind whistling through the mountains, this windmill is put to steady use by the Mord to grind popoto-like desert tubers into flour. Its name is an expression of gratitude, the technology replacing what was once a laborious task carried out by hand.

Our Ladies' Feet

Another contraption built by the Mord, this windmill is used for crushing the wildly diverse ingredients mixed into the local brews. Similar to the Ladies' Hands, the technology replaces a process that once involved a great deal of jumping and stomping.

Nuvy's Leavings

The history of this mine stretches back to the time of the Ronkan Empire. Ronso workers labored to carve out its winding shafts, but there was a limit to how deep they could dig with only pickaxes and persistence. The Nabaath Empire commissioned a project to reopen the excavation using Talos, but as with many endeavors of that age, the scheme fell by the wayside with the advent of the Flood.

Kelk

Once a Ronso settlement, Kelk had been abandoned in favor of larger cities long before the Flood arrived. Thus, it is known amongst scavengers as a prime location for finding trinkets and relics untouched by conflict.

Lift Station

Scavengers built this pulley-and-rope mechanism to facilitate the recovery of precious artifacts from the ruins of Nabaath Areng. As the city has since been picked clean of treasures, however, the winch's condition has deteriorated from disuse.
