The sylph maintain a number of outposts along Llyri's regional borders with neighbouring Amnu and Odashq. Though more resupply points than barracks, they are nevertheless used by the Astral Templar and Llyran Guard to keep aware of all traffic entering what the sylph view as strictly their territory—whether the claim is founded or not.
Most sylph outposts are identifiable by their unique spiral shape. The structures are airtight, and entered via an airlock fitted with a battery-powered filter, much like those found in Templar Armour, with one infamous difference: this filter uses powerful blasts of air to remove stray ash from a prospective entrant before ingress. These blasts are very abrupt and often startling to those who have never entered an outpost. Falling over one's first time in an outpost airlock is considered a rite of passage in each of Llyri's two forces, and some Templar even believe failure to do so is bad luck.
