9. The Rainbow Citadel

Room

OSE NL · p.18 · 3p

A STRUCTURE BUILT BY VOID ENGINEERS • PATHS TO LOCATIONS 7 & 11

This dismal plain comprises thousands of sculpted, MEGALITHIC HEADS, arranged with a well-defined sense of order. Many have OPEN MOUTHS a humanoid can enter. Amid the heads rises a CITADEL of staggering architectural craftsmanship, covered in an array of gears, levers, and cogs. Ambient light reflecting off the surface separates to produce miniature RAINBOWS. This area is swarming with SHADOW WALKERS [p.38], who have a 3–in–6 chance per turn of detecting the party.
