The Research Camp is an abandoned excavation camp inside the Pillars of Creation in the Nomad Highlands. Scholars came here to study a huge, strange structure built by the Ancients. One expedition was led by Caspian, and a rival group from the east was led by Nala. Nala could not read the structure, so she told Caspian it was a gateway to the stars. She then stole his masonry tools and hid them in her own camp. The Carpenter sends the player here to recover those tools.
Where to Find Research Camp - Map Location
The camp lies within the Pillars of Creation, the two great volcanoes of the Nomad Highlands. An Ancient Obelisk stands right beside it. The Fish Farm is a short way north, and the Vukah Arena lies to the south. Flame Sanctums stand to the north-east and to the south.

Lore Pages
"I Completely Fumbled It" lies in the large tent and is Nala's confession. She admits that she made up the gateway theory and hid Caspian's tools, and fears that Loraine Crim would judge her for it. Its companion note, "New Theories!", is Caspian's account of the lava pit and the structure. "The Renowned Dragon Sword" is a scholar's note from the set Rumors Of The Dragon Cave. The writer believes real dragons would explain the large fossil bone deposits, and hopes to find the Dragon Sword to prove it.
