Suk Alusus is a market area that is located in a cave, within the Eastern Vermillius Gap.
Location
Suk Alusus is situated on the northern tip of the Mirzabah rock island, tucked between conjoined pillars that form a north-facing canyon.
Details
The entrance is marked by several Kirab banners and guarded by two to three NPCs, depending on their roam positions when you arrive. When approaching the entrance to the cave, there is a carved staircase to the right that leads up into the rocks to the back entrance of the cave system.
Once inside, the first chamber features a blue pentashield on the left, and the associated ID-band on the right. The room behind the pentashield is small, but has an easily-overlooked passage in the back on the right side that leads up to a constellation chest and a Shigawire recording from Khava, a Fremen Wali who rested in the cave on pilgrimage to Mirzabah.
Past the first chamber is a stairway that splits to the left and right. Both staircases lead to the same room, only to split again on the far sides of that room. But this additional split bears no consequence as again, they both enter into the same area.
The next chamber is a medium-sized marketplace of sorts. The space is separated into two tiers, with the inner tier being slightly recessed into the floor. The outer tier has two dead-end alcoves on the left and right sides, and the passage forward is on the far side of the marketplace.
After the marketplace is a long hallway littered with scrap vehicle parts. On the far end is a rudimentary storeroom that loops around a central stone pillar. The exit is on the right side, leading to the stairs next to the main entrance to the cave.
Recruiting letters can be read for the Kirab bandits Tarit and Drot in the upper market area.
Lore
Recordings
- Khava, as recorded by through Shigawire in the hidden side chamber
Mother, I am recording this message which a kind member of this sietch will send on to you by distrans. We have arrived safely here at Mirzabah, the culmination of our personal hajra. Oh, mother! The great rock is even more impressive than we were told! It looms above us in the most daunting way. Small wonder, our ancestors named this rock after the iron hammer that crushes the souls of those who cannot answer the seven mystic questions required for entry into paradise. Here in the shadow of Mirzabah we will spend our hours in prayer and meditation, strengthening our faith. You and father will be in my prayers daily. Like the bird that will carry this message, my thoughts fly across the sands to you. Your loving daughter, Khava.
- Unknown Kirab Vendor as recorded by a Shigawire Tape found in the main Suk Alusus market area
I have followed the way of the Kirab for many years, but never did I imagine we would one day be holding the Suk Alusus. At the very foot of the Fremen's Holy Hammer... their Mirzabah. It is indeed a fine place for our annual market. Now that the Fremen are gone. For that, I suppose we should give thanks to the Sardaukar. Not that I have any great love for the Emperor's war dogs, you understand, but I fear the drawn crysknife more than the Sardaukar sword. Yes, a fine place indeed, but you still won't find me anywhere near that innermost chamber. It reeks of Fremen curses and foul omens!
