History
For some thirty years, the station operated, patrolling the clouds and bearing messages between the cities of Order.[1a]
The outpost was attacked by a unseen powerful enemy, with all present except the Great Hawk Thiri, the ranger Thindrael Anyaerios and his great hawk, Hasha being killed.[1a] The resulting ruins were a mass of magical transformation and melding of flesh and stone as well as strange fungal growth. [1b]
Locations
It was not a large outpost and mainly consisted of a stone tower and various outbuildings. The tower had a pair of perches, covered ledges (north and south) where a pair of Great Hawks roosted with the skycutters. [1a]
