Arc

A grassy plain under an orange sun, a lake, a wooden bait shop for a saferoom being boxed in girders and joined to the stronghold on the hill, hundreds at work — 'This is what you built' (ch. 12). A field hospital outside the saferoom and an anti-magic jungle gym going up (ch. 16); empty under the first rocks (ch. 19); a front ten miles north and another ten miles south (ch. 20). The bait shop, inside the castle, is the Bamboozle's door (ch. 29, ch. 32).
