Page "The Night Land" Paragraph 21

The dirt and rock excavated during the making of the Fields was dumped into the bottomless “ Crack ” from which the Pyramid draws the Earth-Current.

The narrator supposes that the Fields have their own air system that is not connected with the “ monster air-shafts of the Pyramid ”, but cannot verify this due to the immensity of the Redoubt and the knowledge lost during the years since its construction.

The narrator recounts fields of corn, grain and poppies growing in the vast chambers beneath the Redoubt.
