The basement of Vigil's Keep is entered through a doorway directly across from the portcullis leading to the throne room. The basement can be accessed immediately after reclaiming the upper floors. Vigil's Keep has seen many passageways and chambers added to its labyrinthine structure over the years, some of them dating back to the time of barbarians. Some say the halls extend all the way down to the Deep Roads.
