'''Redcliff Lifts and Mines'''. Along the western canyon walls lies [[the Bridgemoor Mines]] and the great lifts. While the citizens here live on the surface, in Nalatown, the mines are well fortified by Bridge [[Knight]] garrisons, and the lifts are a common entrance into the chasm. One can easily reach the floor of the chasm from the mines. | '''Redcliff Lifts and Mines'''. Along the western canyon walls lies [[the Bridgemoor Mines]] and the great lifts.

A small, fortified compound north of the burrows, the Periki Post is a common respite for those looking for rest and safety within the chasm. The post only houses a few hundred folk, but is a walled hamlet on the eastern side of the river. Adventurers can pay for shelter at the local hostel (only 5 sc a night) and are safe from the monsters outside. The Post is protected by two-dozen or so warriors, divided between '''Rangers''' and '''[[Trollkin]] Bridgeguards ''' (''CC,'' chapter 4, ''“NPCs”''), though the guards can be any humanoid. They may also hire a ferry to take them across the river, or to ferry them past the burrows via the Periki River, for a total of 50 sc for either trip. | ||
Periki Post is run by Yilifis, a contemplative [[Satyr]] with a kind heart who has the stats of a '''Forest [[Witch]]''' (''CC'', chapter 4, “NPCs”). Periki encourages adventurers to explore the chasm and delve its mysteries. She also is always looking for aid for the post, and is willing to assist adventurers in exchange for goods, services, and donations. If an adventurer gains +5 Periki Post Goodwill, Yilifis will teach, and materials for, the first rank of the [[Pioneer]] profession, then can increase that rank by 1 per +10 they earn after that, up to a maximum rank of 3. | Periki Post is run by Yilifis, a contemplative [[Satyr]] with a kind heart who has the stats of a '''Forest [[Witch]]''' (''CC'', chapter 4, “NPCs”).
