"The tunnel leads you inside the wall; as you move inwards, doors and pathways lead off it. You need not travel far to see that the wall is riddled with warrens. You squeeze through tunnels and empty chambers to find high-ceilinged domiciles and abandoned halls. A community once lived entirely within the thick wall."[1]

Saint Trezigor's Folly is a massive wall located near Marigold Station.[2] Inscribed upon it is the goat-like visage of St Trezigor,[3] a patron of goat-demons.[4] This face can express emotion, and even speak in several cataclysmic languages.[5] Those favored by St Trezigor may enter the Folly's interior through a hidden opening.[6][7] Within are tunnels and rooms once inhabited by goat-demons, who wore robes and lived in ascetic, solitary poverty. Sadly, all of the goat-demons are long-dead.[8][9]

St Trezigor was once a patron among goat-demons, though his following has diminished over time.[4] Regardless, his laughter echoes throughout the tunnels of the Folly. Hidden deep within is a mask made from a goat-demon's face, embellished with relics; this mask was Trezigor's "face,"[10] and wearing it may compel the wearer to speak in ancient, Goatish languages.[11]
