Anchorpost

An Anchorpost is a device originally used by the Visitors, and later played a role in the repopulation of the Mantle. They are all identical, a large stone obelisk with inscriptions, and a similarly inscribed circular platform surrounding it.

Nobody has ever deciphered how or why they drag in inhabitants of past and distant worlds. Some consider their arrival a blessing, some are charitable towards them, leaving instructions and food at the site, but again some blame the issues in the Basin on the new arrivals, and make an effort to destroy the care packages.

Four Anchorposts are known: one near Sterling, one near the Lost City, one controlled by the Amer, and one near Lothar’s Tower’s old encampments. Ismar destroyed one on their own territory.
