Planet: Amargosa
Location: Misty Mountains
Summary:
Edoras is a remote mountaintop village on Amargosa, located above the Edoras Transit Center, approximately 1000 meters above the maglev and rail terminal hidden inside the Misty Mountains. The village is one of the highest-altitude human settlements on the planet and was presumably designed to serve as both a strategic location and a point of access to the subterranean transit system.
During the events of the Gelt Incursion in 429 IE, Edoras played a significant role in the early resistance efforts. A group of survivors, including JT Austin, Ellen Nardino, and Davra Andraste, took control of an abandoned maglev train located within the Edoras Transit Center. Their escape through the tunnel was a pivotal moment in their journey to escape or fight back against the Gelt occupation.
Access to Edoras from the Transit Center is presumably by foot or through limited utility transport, as it is described as being situated 1000 meters above the subterranean facility. The area is mountainous and rugged, offering a natural hideaway, which made it a potential strategic fallback location during the invasion.
Entering the tunnel beneath Edoras triggers claustrophobia in Ellen Nardino, hinting at her past trauma and contributing to the psychological tension during the group’s underground escape.
