The Ruins of the Watch Vault of Kunlay

Posted on March 4, 2025 in Steel-Realms

The The Ruins of the Watch Vault of Kunlay are known to lay somewhere on The Maithen Plateau. This Watch Vault of the Underlands was flooded and sealed up long ago in CY 8802 (see the history of the plateau for more details) by the druids. It has been shut since, and the plateau itself was abandoned soon after. The plateau was scoured and flooded, and the breach the Orrish used was completely choked with the debris and bodies of the war on the plateau. Rumors of the dead spirits still prowling its environs persist.

The north fork of the High Mathien Road runs from Angan Rock, through Treste, and on to the Watch Vault of Kunlay, Blaekpit Mine and finally to Tunnlin Hamlet.

This location has a World Watcher Edifice, though it is smashed and somewhat broken – but is still functional.

Encounters: It has the encounters common to all Places on the Maithean Plateau.

History: Riverdans (History of Dovender Valley and The Dog Fort)

The Sealed Entrance of Kunlay

The entrance to “The Vault” is a typical Orrish tunnel of about 5m high and 7m wide. It is rough-hewn and craggy – though it’s been smoothed by the flooding that sealed up the vault. Above it is a huge crack that collapsed the entrance. A stone slab leans up, engraved in the languages of Gladnorian, Dundarian, Feyloise and Orrish: “Nature’s wrath has sealed the way. Only nature can break the seal without the wrath of a thousand storms.”
