Descriptions
A Blocked Doorway
Avanthum,
If your eyes were as sharp as your tongue, you'd have long realized that we've found more than just "another tomb". This is where the dwarves who built this city emerged from the Deep Roads. Whatever drove them here, they were determined to stay. The lowest levels were deliberately collapsed.
Send Vertis back when he's done with the runes in the canyon. Do not make him lift anything heavier than a quill! That slave cost a pretty fortune.

Canyon Overlook
A draft of cold air from the canyon brings with it the sharp stench of rot around the overlook. Puncture wounds dot the corpses of a gurn and its unlucky owner.
The Colossus of Orlais
Codex entry: The Colossus of Orlais
The Empty Square
An open tomb has eroded over the centuries. Carved into the stone, almost too faint to see, is a bas relief of an enormous, helmeted dwarf, flanked by two smaller dwarves, marching out of a mountain under a beaming sun.
The Four Pillars
Estoris,
Not only did we find the dwarven tomb precisely where I said we would, the writing on the stone uses a transitive verb found only in scripts that predate 700 TE. It means, obviously, that these ruins were built before the First Blight, just as I predicted when we started this expedition.
I believe you owe me some gold.
Avanthum
Lonely Light
Someone has lit a brazier full of oil here, possibly to act as a guiding light, should anyone need to find this rocky outcropping in the dark.
The Oasis
The oasis is significantly cooler than the open sands. A sweet fragrance drifts down from the trees.
Stone Over Sky
A faint inscription in ancient dwarven script is carved in the archway:
Let this gate be the Stone over your head, home never forgotten, anchoring soil and sky.
