The Clay Guardhouse is an imposing military building located in the Four Merchants district, on the terrace of the Hand That Crafts in Laelith. It is a robust structure, built from local stone covered in clay, hence its name. The guard post is the vigilant guardian of this prosperous district, ensuring the safety of the artisans and merchants who work and live there.

Inside, the organization of the post is similar to that of the Pearl, the main guard post of the Nebulas.

The ground floor is divided into several areas: the reception room, the duty room, the kitchen, and the guardroom. The guards on duty are always present, ready to intervene if needed. There is also a collective cell for common delinquents at this level.

The upper floors house the armory, the provisions room, the collectors' office, and the weapons room where the guards train. There is also an infirmary and a “luxury” cell for situations that require it.

The Clay Guardhouse is equipped with a sophisticated alarm system, including a semaphore and a balloon release, to signal a serious and imminent danger. Indeed, despite its location in a prosperous district, the post is not free from risks. The wealthy merchants often attract unsavory characters, necessitating constant vigilance from the guards.

In summary, the Clay Guardhouse is a bastion of security and order at the heart of the bustling The Hand That Crafts, tirelessly watching over the Four Merchants and their precious shops.
