LANDMARK I OF VI • WHERE THE MODERN WORLD ENDS

I. The Gatehouse & Lantern Court

Here behind a dense screen of towering timber, you leave your modern carriage and the noise of the shire behind. Beneath the carved oak sign of the Lantern & Key, Kit Sterling greets your company, breaks the wax seal upon your Writ of Passage, and bestows a heavy woolen cloak and a glowing iron lantern for the descent.

“Take a wool cloak from the rack if the mist is falling, friends. From this post onward, the clocks of the parish cease to tick.” — Kit Sterling

Hand-forged lantern posts line the winding bends through the fern hollow, guiding your boots safely in every season.

WARD AGAINST THE MIST

CLOAKS AT THE GATE

When the Oregon rain whispers through the canopy, heavy wool and oilskin cloaks wait at the Gatehouse for our wayfarers to borrow.

THE QUARTERMASTER’S MULE

ESCORT FOR HIGH GEAR

Commanders bearing heavy chests of painted miniatures or intricate armor may summon the Quartermaster’s trail-cart at arrival.
