Geography
Dul-Val is situated where the Khargaath Range meets the Murazkar Range, overseeing the Tarsuun Pass. The settlement occupies a natural chokepoint at the western entrance to Sanctuary Vale. The terrain is steep, with layered outcrops, narrow ledges, and deep-cut quarries opening into the surrounding stone. Mist from the Murazkar Range drifts into the city regularly.
History
Originally founded as a quarry and guard outpost, Dul-Val over time expanded from a ring of stonecutters’ dwellings into a fortified city.
Economy
Dul-Val’s economy is centered on stonework and toolmaking.
Defense and Military
Dul-Val houses one of the most active garrisons of Stonewardens in the vale. The settlement is fortified along its outer terraces, and all entry from the Tarsuun Pass is closely monitored.
