Marigold Station is the last stop before reaching the very walls of Hell. It is near many of The Hinterlands most peculiar places.

Those Who Bear the Marigold

Marigold station is a very small. There is nothing of interest here, except for the orange walls made of marigold grown to form a lattice, and a single bench.[1] It is both the last stop before reaching Hell for the infernal line[2][3] and the terminus of the (finished) Great Hellbound Railway.[4] The primary purpose of the place is to keep an eye on the Knights of the Marigold.[5]

Since the Treaty of the Marigold, signed toward the end of the Season of Revolution, every devil who dissent from Hell's opinion are offered a choice: they can either recant their view and accept the maroity's own, or they are exiled. Those who choose the latter can only be welcomed back if they succeed at an often impossible task given to them by Hell and spend their exile wearing a marigold badge on their chest.[5] The Stationmaster of Marigold is tasked with keeping an eye on the progress of Marigold bearer.[5]

Tourist Guide to Hell Surroundings

Marigold station is near many interesting places in The Hinterlands:

  • The Lilymire is Hell's old graveyard,[6] until it was floded by the city's waste.[7] It is now a marsh, filled with candles who grow out of lilies.[8] The waters can cause hallucinations to divers foolish enough to plunge into the bog.[7]
  • South of Hell lies The Edict of Towers,[9] an old defense made of walls and towers (but only one fifth of them or less are real)[10] and many, many mirrors, which can either lead to Parabola.[9]
  • Saint Trezigor's Folly was a communal living place for a group of goat demons long ago.[11] Now, it only contains their bones.[12] The walls of the place move and shift,[13] and a goat head carved in stone serves as it face.[14] It is rumoured to speak.[13]

Finally, a road paved with white stone lead to the Hell's entrance.[15]
