This huge glass building in a square near the edge of Denandsor has stood empty even before the Great Contagion. Before the Usurpation the Terminal was a hub of activity it's crystal screens listing thousands of destinations across Creation.

By the time the Great Contagion rolled around the Daiymo of Denandsor was under pressure to knock the building down.
