The Dwarven Hub-City of Talley-oh
- The dwarven hub-city of Talley-oh is abandoned.
- The entrance tunnel to Talley-oh slopes down at a 15 degree angle and runs for 8 miles. About quarter of a mile in lies a hollow bronze sphere 9 feet in diameter, halfway embedded in the ground.
- The entrance tunnel to Talley-oh has irregular steps to confuse attackers.
- Some system of boards was once used at the entrance tunnel to Tally-oh to allow wheeled vehicles to travel the tunnel. The boards have deteriorated.
- Some distance down the entrance tunnel to Talley-oh are two 2.5 foot holes in the wall, across from each other. These are probably ventilation shafts.
- Some way past the ventilation shafts, the tunnel to Talley-oh opens up slightly and is blocked by two bronze doors.
- Underneath the bronze doors guarding the entrance to Talley-oh is a crank and winch arrangement for opening them.
- Inside the gate to Talley-oh is a large room, perhaps 90 feet wide. Ramps head down to the left and right.
- A hollow bronze sphere lies embedded in the ground in the passage to the left from the room behind the gates in the tunnel to Talley-oh.
- A few thousand feet down the left tunnel from the room behind the gates to Talley-oh lies the entrance to a 5 foot wide corridor. 150 feet down this corridor are the charred remains of some barrels once stacked against one side of the passage.
- At the end of a 150-foot side passage a few thousand feet inside the gates to Talley-oh, the corridor opens up into a room with levers, gears, chains, and bronze pipes on the walls. This is a control room that operates many of the mechanisms in the complex.
- The chamber with the reservoir on the tunnel to Talley-oh is 200 feet in diameter, with several dwarven contraptions buried in the floor and a spherical illuminating device half buried in the wall.
- The metal sphere buried in the wall of the reservoir room on the entrance tunnel to Talley-oh is about 3 meters in diameter, covered in creases that form a web on its surface, with 5 bronze pipes coming out of its base. Three of the pipes have hand cranks attached. From left to right the pipes are: crank labeled (in Dwarven) "Cool Aether", no crank, crank labeled "Siphoning", no crank, and crank labeled "Hot Aether". The sphere sounds hollow if struck, and reeks of magic.
