Ir-Khazin is a closed-structure Deep Road outpost located approximately 50 miles west of Mar-Thal, on the long corridor from Djes-Val to Mar-Thal. It serves primarily as a transit monitoring site and partial garrison node for Stonewarden patrols operating between the midline settlement of Tarn-Vareth and the fortified city at the eastern terminus. The post handles logistical tracking, nspections, and rest rotations for long-route convoys.

Geography

Positioned at a downward bend in the corridor, Ir-Khazin occupies a reinforced chamber beneath a stable stone shelf. The outpost is fully enclosed, with tiered levels descending into functional sections. It includes dedicated inspection platforms, storage vaults, and alcoves for temporary detainment or repair work.

History

Established during expansion of the Khargaath route, Ir-Khazin was built to correct for gaps in security and cargo inspection. The name refers to an older inventory term, meaning “held point of transit.”

Defenses and Watch

A full-time Stonewardens watch rotation is maintained
