Dim Gate

The Dim Gate's observatory is located on a peak in the Napsune Mountains. The site overlooks a narrow, secluded valley. The mountains protect the observatory from the perpetually rotating arms of the Eye of Abendego that deluge the lowlands of the Sodden Lands. The observatory's elevation provides a clear view of the sky on most nights. A narrow trail winds up the mountain peak to the observatory. Skeletal champions patrol the grounds around the observatory and a nightwing called Gloomtide soars above the site, keeping watch for any intruders.

The Dim Gate itself is an interplanetary gate deep beneath the observatory. It is under construction by the lich diviner Meyi Panaho under the patronage of a mysterious being calling himself Tzriek, a bone sage from the dead planet Eox. Tzriek convinced Meyi to become immortal through lichdom in order to have the time to unlock the secrets of the universe.
