| − | '''Haven''' is a major hub on [[Cradle]], as well as the home of the [[Strangers]]. These salvagers offer the [[Spiral Order|Spiral Knights]] sanctuary in return for the treasures that they acquire while investigating the [[Clockworks]]. Friendly vendors from other races (such as the [[Gremlins]] and [[Devilite]]s often encountered in the [[Clockworks]]) also reside here, though in much smaller population. Haven is also heavily populated with [[snipes]], bulbous little birds with a curious means of locomotion.

This potential is somewhat indicated by the fading edges of available maps as well as the mission [[Breaking in the Recruits]]. The first floor of this mission seems to be an area of Haven that is in Depth 24, despite the mission briefing mentioning the "surface of Cradle." Arguably, this area is not "Haven," and is simply an area that has architecture similar to structures seen in Haven and on the surface. The southern outskirts of haven are glimpsed as the player leaves the [[Rescue Camp]]. This area is guarded against the perils of Cradle by several NPCs. |
