Decoy village

From Lostpedia

The decoy village is a primitive fishing village, comprising yurts made from salvaged materials, fish-drying racks, and a guarded set of doors, similar in appearance to the DHARMA Initiative stations. The village appeared to be a ruse as their true camp turned out to be The Barracks.

Michael

Michael was held captive by the Others at the village. Sayid later discovered that the village was actually a facade. The yurts were uninhabited, and The Door opened to a solid rock face ("Live Together, Die Alone").

The purpose of the village as a decoy was confirmed by a conversation between Ben and Colleen of the Others in "The Glass Ballerina".

The Door

The Decoy Village contains a door built into a rock face. The door bears a DHARMA Initiative logo in the same style as those found on DHARMA stations elsewhere on the Island. Ironically, the door leads into an empty alcove.

The Door was guarded by two unnamed armed Others while Michael was in the decoy village.

Window Rock

The Window Rock was a landmark given to Michael via the Swan computer (supposedly by Walt) ("Three Minutes"). It is located immediately outside of the village on a high cliff. The rock formation appears to be natural.

Yurts

The village is primarily comprised of rustic yurts, which seem to be scavenged from other structures. The insides of the yurts match their simple outward appearance. The appearance and design echo ancient Viking huts, or similar Mongolian yurts.

Inhabitants

Some of the Others appeared to be living in the decoy village while Michael was there. These Others included Tom, Danny Pickett, Matthew, Bea Klugh, Alexandra Linus, and a number of background Others.
