Notable sublevels
- Drowned Canyon: a navigable underground river crossing almost every level of the dungeon, with aquatic beasts and secret places.
- Lost Chambers of Arden: lost chambers of the ancient Archonteans. They hold the rudishva shuttle, a ship that could fly between the stars if the propulsion formula is found in the rudishva Bastion on the Floor of the Great Chasm.
- Kaliyani Pits: restricted access; led by Tsilliv. From here Rivvep sends exploration teams to the Floor of the Great Chasm.
- Bastion and Citadel of the Scar of the Sun: formerly the lair of Master Malakita and the knights’ vampiric order. In the middle phase of the first cycle the Seekers beheaded Malakita and took the Bastion, which became their stronghold.
- Workshops of Kerbog Khan: automaton laboratories producing dragonfly and exploration automatons; seat of Kerbog Khan, the transformed Cerbactos Kalthetos, a sorcerer-warlord with a Varumani crystal device.
- Beacon Chamber: holds the second rudishva AI, AKL-600, besides RAJ-750 in the Troll Lifts. Its teleporters reach the Obsidian Gates and the Floor of the Great Chasm. AKL-600 knows the access code to the Obsidian Gates vault that holds the pale green horn.
