'''The Retreat''' is an artificially-created [[oubliette]] and the primary [[lair]] of the [[Fiend]] known as [[The Red Haunt|the Red Haunt]].

==Layout and Location==
Both the Retreat's internal floor plan and its location in the [[Mists]] can be altered, as it was created and is maintained using the power of the [[World Engine]]. The Red Haunt can open doors from her lair to any [[Domain]] whose borders are not closed, and which are not warded against such intrusion in another way. Currently, the Retreat's front door opens in the [[Blackchapel]] district of [[Paridon]], but there are other doors.

==Appearance==
The Retreat has no real windows that might betray its nature; instead, enchanted portraits display a number of different locations.

The oubliette's winding corridors are panelled with oak and ash wood, and illuminated by [[Servant Candle|servant candles]]. Ugly little statuettes, actually [[Homunculus|homunculi]], are positioned in every corridor and room, providing their fiendish creator with up-to-date information on all the goings-on on the main level of her lair as soon as she mentally contacts them.

Various rooms show more individual traits, such as various guest rooms, the Shrine to [[Brightwell]], the Gallery, [[Imogen Schlosser|Imogen's]] Library, [[Katia Schlosser's|Katia's]] Medical Theater, the Aquarium that houses [[Boyce Vinctus|Boyce's]] seal pod, and [[Clementine Schlosser|Clementine's]] "Playroom". A lower [[dungeon]] level devoted wholly to cells and storage, as well as the powerful World Engine, has walls, ceilings and floors of cold stone.

==Inhabitants and Security==
The oubliette's security is threefold.
*First, there is the swarm of homunculi monitoring the main level.
*Second, there are 'servant corridors' behind the walls of the main level, used by [[Lebendtod]] servants to move about. If so required, they can exit these passages and move into the main corridors.
*The World Engine has absolute control over time and space within the Retreat. If ordered not to let someone out (or in), there is no way for them to pass through the Retreat's doors (though the machine itself has noted it is possible to break through the walls and enter the dubious safety of the [[Mists]]).
