- "The Free Heap. Free, because we answer to no-one but ourselves, the metal and the dust storms. And the Heap's back there."
- ―Petra Forgewoman
Free Heap is an independent Oseram freehold in Horizon Zero Dawn located in the northeast part of the Carja Sundom, close to the border it used to share with the Sacred Lands.
History[]
Formation of Free Heap[]
A road sign for Free Heap.
Free Heap was built by work gangs who originally arrived in Meridian to build the city's massive elevators, but fled the city during the Red Raids. Petra Forgewoman led a group of Oseram across the Sundom, taking odd jobs and promising those who stuck with her to find a place for them to live. Eventually, Petra found the location she was looking for.[1] It was established near a massive scrap heap assembled by Oseram past from metal left behind by the Old Ones. This scrap is invaluable to the Oseram, as the tribe of crafters and smiths depend on the materials for their livelihood. Thus, Petra has tinkered fierce weapons, Oseram Cannons, to bolster their defense of the scrapyard.
Free Heap exists independently of the greater Oseram territory of the Claim, made up of inhabitants that refuse to adhere to Oseram tribal laws or taxes.
Sometime between Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West[]
After the Liberation of Meridian, Petra returned to Free Heap. However, as it was running smoothly and didn't need her, she left to make her way to Chainscrape.[2]
