Lying only here

Items placed in the world here and nowhere else (some can also be bought, made or looted: their pages say).

From base GTS 118's own records: the winning copy of RiftWatchtowerLocation (SRC - AIO - 3DNPC Patch.esp). Level: the place's encounter zone, as the records set it. The game sets a place's level from yours, kept between its lowest and highest; GTS's Encounter Zones Unlocked keeps it following you rather than fixed at your first visit. Boss: who the place's own record marks as its boss (one picked by level has no name of its own and isn't shown). People: where the game places them as a game starts; they walk about.
