A collapsed complex of arched chambers east of Mount Tolaria, Ekadriel was once a Tolarian waystation — a place where practitioners rested, exchanged notes, and stored excess reagents during the long climbs to the summit citadel. The architecture that remains is distinctive: the arches were constructed using a stress-transfer technique that distributed magical load across all the chambers simultaneously, meaning the whole structure either stands or falls together. It is mostly fallen.
What makes Ekadriel notable is that one wing of the complex didn't collapse the way the others did. It imploded inward during the cataclysm, compressing rather than shattering, and the interior of that wing is now inaccessible — the entry passage pinched shut by the warped stonework. The compressed wing radiates a particular harmonic that Faesong practitioners describe as "a voice trying to get out." Whether something was trapped inside when the walls closed, or whether the stored reagents themselves became the voice, is unknown.
