====== Atlantean Outpost Under the Tree ======

The Atlantean Outpost Under the Tree is a buried ruin reached through a cave among the roots of the tree from [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:chad-darrelson|Chad Darrelson]]'s patron vision. The entrance descended thousands of feet into a large cavern before opening into an Atlantean archway, decorated halls, guardian chambers, an armory, and training areas.

===== At a Glance =====

  * **Type:** Buried Atlantean ruin / armory / training complex.
  * **Region:** Beneath a special tree on a fictional [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:aetherstone|Aetherstone]] island northeast of Iceland.
  * **First known appearance:** [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:the-outpost-beneath-the-aetherstone-tree|The Outpost Beneath the Aetherstone Tree]].

===== Campaign History =====

  * Chad's patron gave him a vision of the tree and the command to dig.
  * Chad, [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:thorin-steinson|Thorin Steinson]], [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:bartholomew|Bartholomew]], and Netheril entered the Atlantean archway before the full party regrouped.
  * Tile murals in the hall showed Atlantean greatness and magical or enhanced darts.
  * An animated warrior statue, an [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:atlantean-guardian-construct|Atlantean Guardian Construct]], guarded a circular chamber and knocked Chad unconscious before Thordak revived him.
  * The party reached an armory and found relics later assigned to specific characters: Netheril's [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:orb-of-crafting|Orb of Crafting]], Kara's [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:infernal-orb|Infernal Orb]], Amelia's flame-tongue spear, and Thordak's Explosive Darts and [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:aetherstone|Aetherstone]] Darts, also described as gravity darts.
  * The guardian statue revived itself while the party was in the armory and returned to its pedestal.
  * Chad, [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:bartholomew|Bartholomew]], and Amelia left after the armory, cut the rope needed to climb out, boarded the longship, and sped away.
  * Netheril used the [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:orb-of-crafting|Orb of Crafting]] to empower [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:aetherstone|Aetherstone]] crystals into anti-gravity items, attached one to the rope, and allowed the remaining party members to escape.
  * A secret door behind a wrestling mural led toward training grounds and the [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:ram-wraps|Ram Wraps]], the apparent target of Chad's patron.
