"The Beacon of Ulon has been inactive for more than three hundred years since Conclave Routing Edict XCIV prioritised the sea node protocols and reconfigured the topology of the local vurtiverse to reinforce the Curse of Kalonia. But all the beacons are constructed with memware sustain architecture and this one is powered by deep geothermals. It will have degraded much less than you might expect in that time and reactivating it should be reasonably straightforward with the right logic. These are the codes Hirrilow has provided and it is to be hoped that his friends in the Conclave have access to the proper levels of security." Although Asanka understood little of Crinomu's technical explanation he took very careful heed of his next words. "The beacon may be occupied. The Conclave will have set some kind of guards to watch their property. As far as we know they are not expecting us to pay this visit but for simple routine security and to keep curious Riders away there will be wardens. Of what kind I do not know but we must be prepared for the possibility of a fight."
