The two of them reach a large green gate, atop which there are many Veydreth archers defending the battlements. Each gives Kasumi a strange look, but the gates swing open before them regardless. The next passage is longer, but more of the same, houses built into the cliff face. At one point Claz'zakla points out other passages down to the reservoir or Wyrm Pens, but doesn't lead her down them. They come to a second gate, nearly the identical to the first, only blue. This too swings open, and the canyon passage turns sharply to the right just behind it. Claz'zakla leads her around the corner.

"Behold, Nak'azar."

Before them is an immense, roughly circular hole in the ground. There are several bridges across to other canyon passages, but all down this hole there are yet more houses built into the walls, and even more normal houses with four walls and a roof down on the floor of the hole far below. There also seems to be a very large and important building down at the bottom.

"This is the primary residential area of Old Chardok. It also hosts most of the civilian services. That fancy looking building built into the wall at the bottom is the Temple of Kor-sha. Across that bridge is the way to some more residential areas and the Court of Korucust. And across that bridge is the Caro'eth passage, the most heavily fortified area, leading to the library and the royal palace."

They lead the Aetanii queen into some sort of large lounging area. There are decorative lava falls on the walls, though strangely the room isn't nearly as hot as it looks like it ought to be. The seats are quite comfortable, this being the place where the Ring of Scale spends most of their time. The moment they sit, servants appear, carrying trays of tea and any additions one could wish for. Likely several that the queen doesn't recognize.
