Rising Cart Lower Station
The Rising Cart Lower Station is an official building located in The Divine-Royal Alley district on The Lakeshoe Terrace in Laelith. It is a massive building, constructed with rough stones and solid wooden beams. The facade is austere, almost intimidating, with a large iron door that opens onto a dark tunnel.
Inside, the atmosphere is always damp and cool, with lighting dimmed by lanterns hung on the walls. There is a large wooden wheel, operated by slaves, which allows the cart to be raised and lowered. This cart, a sturdy metal structure, is used for the transport of goods and people between The Lakeshoe and The High Terrace.
The Low Station is an essential stop for those who wish to go to The High Terrace without taking the Thousand Steps Ladder. It is also a workplace for the slaves and gnome engineers who take care of the maintenance of the cart and the mechanism.
Despite its austere appearance and laborious operation, the Rising Cart Lower Station is a symbol of the ingenuity and determination of the inhabitants of Laelith. It testifies to the city's will to overcome the challenges posed by its rugged terrain and to facilitate circulation between its different terraces.
