Fort Avernum

A fort within a giant cavern, located above The Arrival Caves. The ceiling of the cavern arcs hundreds of feet above ground level. The fort is made of huge blocks of stone held together by rough mortar. The only wood in use is for doors. A handful of trees are scattered about, most of them fungal in nature.

Avernum: Escape from the Pit
The player first arrives here after leaving The Arrival Caves, ascending into a pit surrounded by warriors ready to kill on sight. The player is saved by Andrew. The fort does not allow new arrivals to stay permanently, as the fort is small and has a full roster of defenders. Instead, new arrivals are provided with information and resources so that they can carve their own path outside of the walls of the fort.
