Cinderwall Outpost

Cinderwall is a fortified ring of stone and charred timber located at the edge of the Elderwood. Its defining feature is the Great Trench, a massive ditch filled with alchemical fire that never sleeps. The air is thick with the scent of burning pine, and the sky is often orange from the perpetual glow. Soldiers patrol the walls with long-handled torches, watching the shifting trees for any sign of movement or encroaching roots.
