This article contains significant spoilers for a late-game area unlocked after the 75% completion event.
Unless you have FINISHED the 75% Completion sequence, ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE "Apotheosis" ADVANCEMENT, we strongly advise that you DO NOT continue to read this article, as this will interfere with your ability to discover crucial aspects of the map for yourself.
Additionally, this article itself is about a story location at this late-game area. If you have not yet discovered and completed the Inscription Complex (as denoted by the "What Puzzles Do You Bear?" and "Master of Maintenance" advancements, respectively), this page will contain spoilers for content you have not seen.
The Inscription Complex is one of five main story locations on the divine moon of Lo'Dahr, located in the far southwest corner of the moon, in Loe's Domain. Originally used by Avsohm to mass produce inscribed runic catalysts locally on the moon, it stands defunct by the time of the main story, waiting to be repaired by the player.
Like the other two non-core facilities on Lo'Dahr, its primary purpose in the map is to teach the player a mechanic that can be applied to the main puzzle at the Core Facility.

Within the Lo'Dahr dimension, these coordinates place the player on the lower level of the Inscription Complex.
Story¶
After reaching the Core Facility, the player will likely find the map depicting the four main Avsohmic facilities on Lo'Dahr, one of which is the Inscription Complex. There is no correct or intended order to visit the other three facilities, as long as the player eventually learns the lessons from each one.

The player can find the Inscription Complex hanging from the underside of a large, icy cavern in Loe's Domain. Once inside, holotexts provide some insight on the relationship between the different Avsohmic facilities on the moon, as well as the empire's relations with the native Tehrmari.

In the factory portion of the complex, where mass inscription actually occurred, the player is given a strong hint toward the main puzzle mechanic of the facility.
Gameplay¶
Like the Resupply Depot, the Inscription Complex was designed for airships to enter and leave, and as such, the player must find a way up to the building from the ground.
The main puzzle of the facility revolves around the inscription machinery, which requires player interaction in order to properly function again. This is very strongly hinted at by the nearby holotext.
Hint
The holotext mentions that a new lensing block is required every so often, and it has been a very long time since this was used, so it probably needs a new one entirely! Keep the size of Minecraft blocks in mind. 
Puzzle Solution
The puzzle can be solved, as suggested by the holotext, by replacing the diamond lens. This is done by placing a block of diamond on top of the small platform in front of the holotext, which will activate the factory and give the player a reward at the end of the assembly line.
Upon completion of the puzzle, the player will receive the "Master of Maintenance" advancement, and will have effectively completed the achieved the area's goal.
Original Writing¶
There are 6 holotexts to be found in the Inscription Complex.
One book, Guhnr's Complaint, can also be found in this building, in a living quarters room.
Lore¶
When Avsohm first established a strong presence on Lo'Dahr, they encountered a significant problem: pre-inscribed runic catalysts, the materials that powered the vast majority of their technology, could not be sent through warp towers, as the catalysts were too unstable and would explode upon transportation. Thus, uninscribed runic catalysts had to be sent to the moon, and a facility to inscribe them locally had to be constructed.
The Inscription Complex was built in a cavern in the domain of Loe, Aspect of the Cold, because the frigid conditions sustained by their ambient divine magic could replace the machinery's cooling systems as an efficient and costless alternative. However, this area of Lo'Dahr was already populated, as the town of Loeturia lies just to its north. This was the source of significant tension between the Avsohmic Drehmari and the local Tehrmari, the latter of whom had lived there for generations, and did not take kindly to Avsohm's attempts to colonize the moon.
The site appears to have been the home of at least two recurring figures in Avsohmic history: Hirhla and Guhnr.
