The small atoll was the topmost part of it, a circular ring perhaps one or two stories high, sitting on top of 4 curving support structures that connected it to the main body of the manse, deeper below. Several what were believed to be hatches had been found in the topmost ring, though none had been tried yet.<br/><br/>The main body of the manse below was perhaps a kilometer across, consisting of a large outer ring, and a central hub, connected by a number of spokes. Below that there appeared to be another circular ring, matching the one that sat just beneath the surface of the water. One suggestion put forward was that the main body of the manse was supposed to float on the surface, with the upper and lower rings providing berthing connections for First Age airships and underwater craft.
