The Inky Guardhouse, located in the Reconquest district on the Terrace of the Punishment, is an imposing military building nestled in the heart of the Ladder in the Sky.

The post is a massive structure. Inside, there is a reception hall, a Duty room for taxes, a kitchen for the guards, an armory for training, and an infirmary for the injured. The post has recently been equipped with a luxury cell for high-profile prisoners that The Wet Whistle might attract, and a modern alarm system to call for reinforcements if needed. The office of the Rahel is a comfortable room where important decisions are made. It is here that patrol schedules are established and instructions for task distribution are prepared.

The Contingent is made up of two distinct types of guards. For a very long time, the appointment to the Encre post was a disciplinary sanction. Its men barricaded themselves there all night, from the close to the open. Today, several platoons of zealots, heavily armed, have established themselves there, inflamed by the discourse of Nin I and viewing the former Post guards as cowards and people without honor. They are ready to lead a true crusade to the heart of the Punishment at the slightest signal from the God-King. Misunderstanding and resentment are growing between the old guards and the new recruits.

For now, patrols are limited to the periphery of the terrace, but one must be convinced that the arrival of fresh troops for Nin I's grand project reshuffles all the cards. The old animosity that once marred relations between the Inky and Coal guard houses is finally taking a break, and, enduring all the mockery, the elders of the Terrace patiently await for the Punishment to put the newcomers in their place.
