Enen-Zhal is a compact, stone-built fort located near the edge of the Khargaath slopes, 20 miles from Djes-Val. It functions as a final checkpoint and rest station for travelers, traders, and initiates making the crossing through Sanctuary Vale. Though small, the outpost maintains an active watch and limited trade quarter.

Geography

Set atop a low rise with wide visibility across the surrounding plain, Enen-Zhal is enclosed by high stone walls formed from layered local shale and iron-rich rock. A raised watch platform faces east toward the open path, while the western wall frames the descent toward Djes-Val’s. The surrounding terrain is dry and windswept, with sparse fig growth..

Defenses and Watch

The outpost maintains a standing watch at all times, with narrow archways and limited ground entry. Its elevation and open sightlines allow for early warning against unexpected arrivals.
