Speria
A fort on the western edge of The Rift, reached via a large tunnel running to the lower-east of Bezzeran. It's less than an hour to travel down the tunnel. There are resting points with benches along the tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel is a flat stone plateau with darkness beyond it. Speria is on this platform. It is a small fort, 2 stories but relatively comfy, but sized for the shorter folk. There are quite a few Deep Gnomes and Stone Elves patrolling the wall around it.
Off to the side of Speria is a squalid encampment presumably of follows of Tirima.
Speria is guarded by the Rift Wardens.
It was glimpsed as a cluster of orange lights in the far distance during exploration of Underdark mine workings, up the chasm of the rift.
Entry to Speria is via a fortified gate on the edge of the platform with a 4 foot doorway which is guarded by the Riftwardens. Getting in requires permission.
The Bridge across the Rift
Through the other side of Speria is a locked mechanical door is a 20ft wide, 60ft long bridge across the chasm. Beyond the bridge is "The Dead City". There is a very slight warm breeze coming up the rift.
The bridge appears natural, but with carvings along it. The carvings are delicate and possibly aren't Elven or Gnomish. They seem to include natural forms like flowers. One of the flowers was an 8 petaled flower which grows deep in shaded forests. Orinko Flower which is golden. The hidden sun. The carvings might be Goblinoid.
The bridge also has what appear to be the remains of carved trees on it.
There is no phosphorescent moss here.
At the end of the bridge is an ornate stone carved gate and arch made of stone carved trees.
