Bunkertown

A settlement on the Ilse of Dragons.
From Island of Dragons:
Roztov, ever taking mental notes of all the places and
people he encountered on Tanud, estimated there were about a hundred and fifty
people here, living their lives for the most part underground. The settlement
was made up of one main narrow and low-ceilinged corridor that went round in a
rough circle. From it about a dozen rooms of various sizes joined on, most
having a thick curtain rather than a door for privacy. Ventilation was provided
by narrow stone-lined pipe-ways, which also gave a little light. Other bunkers
which were not connected to the main tunnel were positioned here and there
throughout the area fitting into the gaps between the trees as best they could.
There were twenty or so of these and not all of them seemed to be occupied.
Some of them had up to four rooms.
Someone walking past would have had to be standing right on
top of the settlement to notice it, it was that artfully concealed amongst the
bushes and tree roots. Hunters, food and wood gatherers and the like were
careful to hide their trails to and from the settlement and carried out their
business miles away. The sea was only about a mile away to the east and
sometimes they went there to catch fish, but as Roztov had suspected earlier
they had no boats.

through the trees down the valley to where the inlet was
