			== Assay Row (west wall) ==
			Across the hall from the ladder, the south wing's west wall is [[Assay Row]]: seven alcoves, each with a portal down into a mine or quarry and a Meridian craftsperson who trades a collection task for a lesson in one of the six crafting materials - Prismatic, Tiger Eye, Tourmaline, Serpentine, Amethyst and Obsidian - and the tool that works it. Six of the bays run in a fixed order, each portal refusing entry until the previous material has been taught; the seventh, [[Firecut]], has no material and closes the wall out with a two-boss fight and a Class Ability Point.

			The '''Drift Network''' is the hall the Meridian built to hold the doors it cannot close. This page covers the hall itself: how to reach it, what stands inside it, and the doors that open off its south wing. For the wider story of the Meridian's work and what the drift is, see [[The Drift Network]].

			== Getting there ==
			The hall is reached two ways: the recall command <code>/dn</code> carries a character there directly (the same kind of short cast as a Marketplace recall, interrupted by moving too soon), or on foot through the "Drift Network" portal standing in the Marketplace of Dereth, beside the ordinary Town Network portal there. Leaving is the same in reverse - a "Surface" portal inside the hall returns a character to the Marketplace.

			== The hall ==
			The Drift Network is built on the same hall the retail Town Network uses, but its purpose is inverted: where the Town Network gathers safe doors for anyone to use, this hall gathers the dangerous ones so that no one else has to stand watch over them. Its central crossing and four branches keep the familiar shape, but the town's usual portals are gone, replaced by the Meridian's own people and instruments:

			* Six class trainers, one per class, who teach [[Class Abilities]] in exchange for Class Ability Points.
			* The Skillmaster, who refunds any unused, unspent training token back into its points.
			* The Meridian Reckoning-Stone, a pedestal that renders a character's Luminance into Class Ability Points, one measure at a time, at a rising cost.
			* An "Unstable Drift-Door" standing among the trainers - a pinned, leaking door that cannot be opened, kept only as a reminder of what the rest of the hall is built to hold.
			* [[Dispatcher Corwen Hale]] and the six per-door wardens who route characters to the south wing's doors and pay out its rewards.
			* [[Meridian soldiers]], the peaceful garrison holding the south branch.

			The south wing's own alcoves carry a run of stone arches, tinted in a shade gradient from pale grey to deep navy along the length of the hall, with a single iridescent arch marking the alcove that holds the entry to [[The Iron Sill]].

			== South wing doors ==
			Walking the south branch in order, it carries eight doors: the entry to [[The Unanswered Rookery]], the six-door Meridian south wing ladder, and the entry to [[The Iron Sill]].

			The doors let you in earlier than they expect you to survive. The '''Requires''' column is the hard minimum to step through the portal at all; '''For characters around''' is the level the hall on the other side is actually tuned for. Entering on the minimum is allowed, not advised.
