Name: Edoras Transit Center
Planet: Amargosa
Type: Transportation Hub
The Edoras Transit Center is a subterranean maglev terminal on Amargosa, buried deep within the Misty Mountains beneath the mountaintop village of Edoras. Located approximately 1000 meters below the surface, the center connects remote mountain settlements to the broader Transcontinental Maglev network, making it a vital link between the isolated communities of the highlands and the lowland cities like Lansdorp.
The terminal’s tunnel approach, carved directly through the dense rock of the Misty Mountains, is both marvel and menace. For Ellie Nardino, approaching the center by maglev train triggers a powerful wave of childhood claustrophobia, a personal struggle that adds tension to critical scenes involving the location.
During the events of The Children of Amargosa, the Edoras Transit Center becomes a focal point for survival and resistance. Three of the Children of Amargosa commandeer an abandoned maglev train within the center, using it to further their escape and resistance efforts amid the growing chaos of the invasion.
Though originally intended as a bustling hub for travelers and freight moving through Amargosa’s mountainous spine, the center falls into disuse as the invasion cuts off routes and disables the maglev network. Its cavernous halls and tunnels, once echoing with the sounds of commerce and travel, become shadowy corridors for fugitives and freedom fighters.
