A large fortified structure along the edge of the Siren's Grotto, Fort Verdant - Or "The Mermaid Cove Resort and Spa" as a founder mades a point to advertise it - is composed of equal parts defensive perimeter, and beachfront waterpark.

The outer walls are formed of living trees, sung together into a heavy barricade against intrusion, and variety of defensive traps and magic defend the Guild's newest outpost from jungle born attack. A a solid gate of interwoven ironleaf vines closes off the structure from the many fae tricksters who might mean harm to those inside, and a contingent of guards -posted by Queen Melora herself as a show of alliance with the guild-defends the walls with the efficiency of the hive.

Within these gates, an array of two and three-story resort buildings encircle the black sand beach, complete with gilded waterslide, and floating drink barges. Nubia has spared no expense in furnishing what is effectively her personal beach resort, and it shows. Mixed in among the trappings of an exotic tourist destination are more military style barracks, a war-room, and other useful structures for planning and outfitting expeditions deeper into the dungeon, and Runar has portioned off the roughest section of the beach for use as training grounds.

Mythril-reinforced nets and Runar's own warding magic protect the outpost from seaside incursions, and keep guests relatively safe from the seductive threats that await them beyond the coast. A separate gate opens into the aquatic vastness of the Siren's Grotto, allowing passage through the fort when needed. into a large series of flooded caves and caverns.

At the center of the mismatched resort and fortification, is a runic gateway linked directly to one of the many doors for the Adventurer's Guild, allowing for Quick passage from the guilt to this far away encampment. And making sure Nubia is never more than a few steps away from a day of sunbathing and skinnydipping.
