The Rot is an unmarked location in Horizon Forbidden West. It is a Tenakth prison in The Raintrace.
Description
The Rot is built over the collapsed remains of an Old World seaside hotel.[1]
History
During the Red Raids, Nessa and other Carja were sent to the Rot after being captured in battle. At some point, Marshal Fashav visited the location and saw a kindred spirit in her. Although he ordered the other Carja executed, he gave Nessa a chance to earn her survival, which she did.
Sometime after Regalla's attack on the Embassy, rebels seized the Rot. A squad from the Lowland Clan was sent to retake it, but failed and was captured instead. The squad would later be liberated by Aloy, Talanah, and Amadis, who had come to the prison in search of Nessa.
