Alun-Tar is an agricultural settlement located along the central span of the Va-Djes Road in the Sanctuary Vale.
Geography
Set along the western edge of the Sora Basin, Alun-Tar occupies flat land surrounded by low hills and shallow irrigation routes. Drought-tolerant crops are cultivated along gently terraced fields, with storage and water collection structures positioned close to the main road.
History
Alun-Tar was originally surveyed by Duranthi crews who noted the areas relatively fertile soil. It evolved into a stable waypoint for caravans and a food source for other Duranthi settlements.
Economy
The settlement supports itself through crop production, food preservation, and caravan-based supply exchange. Trade occurs frequently with passing merchants and settlements like Va-Tar and Djes-Val.
Defense and Military
Patrols by rotating Stonewarden units provide basic protection. No garrison is stationed permanently, though a small outpost exists for emergency response and relay communication. The open landscape allows for clear visibility and advance warning in case of threat.
