Stormrest Peak

"It's expensive, but it's cheaper than dying."

- Earl Blue

History
Stormrest Peak is a Waystation built upon a tall rocky outcrop in The Trench. The basic structure seems to pre-date The End, challenging the idea that The Trench was itself caused in that event. The base was a common refuge to wayfarers before the Baron Clan officially took it over and constructed the modern Peak.

It is one of the few locations that is safe from Sandstorms and most Monsters, as well as being in the almost dead centre of The Trench. Accordingly almost all travellers will pass through it on their journey.

Facilities
The Peak is managed by Earl Blue, on behalf of Baron Red. They provide fuel and Skiff repairs for a not unreasonable price, and many traders have set up shop there due to the high traffic of Skiffers looking to unload salvage and unwind stress. It is surrounded by large metal walls designed to keep the station safe from sandstorms and has a functioning radio mast.

The Passage
Stormrest Peak has a cargo passage built into the outcrop below it that leads underground and into the walls of The Trench, eventually leading out to Ratchet Edge in the East Sand. Supplies and salvage are regularly shipped via this Passage to keep the Peak running though Passenger travel is extremely rare.
