Built in a plaza su rrounded by crumbling ruins, this
camp offers some defe nsive advantages to its Gruul resi-
dents. An old tower is the one intact structure the Gruul
use, because it offers a good vantage point over the sur-
rounding area. A sluiceway provides potable water, and
a handful of scraggly trees are a reminder of nature's
potential to grow and flourish even among the ruins.

Otherwise, the camp is little more than a handful of
tents around a bonfire. A trash pit serves as a means of
waste disposal, a few makeshift cages can hold prison-
ers, and a partially enclosed a rea to one side has been
converted into a pen for the beasts used by the Gruul.
