At the height of Midwinter's Eve, a mysterious Dovecote appeared on the property of the Empyreal Demesne. The circular structure was bricked of the same material as The Midnight Gem's tower and growing Manor House. It drew the immediate attention of the Architectrix's in its location, the denizens, and even the livestock of the estate. Doves moved in the next day and started a colony.
The Dovecote is large enough to lead a packhorse into and close the door. It is not big enough for a cart nor more than a small group of people at a time. With care and cleaning, the inside will stay neat and the walls will prove to be resilient.
Once it was discovered, simply entering the Dovecote, closing the door behind oneself and then reopening it even a moment later would have transferred the occupants to The Outpost. Once at The Outpost, the Dovecote Keeper of The Outpost, Paul Resan, would have greeted the new arrivals and clearly explained what The Outpost was, how interconnected to everything is.
He would gift them a map of The Outpost and invite them to participate in the commerce.
