Geography
Urth-Kelai is built across a natural ridge line that overlook a deep mist basin. Urth-Kelai's structures are open to the elements, shaped from water-smoothed stone and interspersed with heated pools.
History
The enclave was founded during the early expansion of the Deep Road when engineers discovered a zone of unnatural mist persistence. Over time, it became a pilgrimage point for those seeking to learn more about Aelrith. Gradually it grew into a formal commune under the guidance of a small cult of Aelrith worshipers.
Notable Locations

Spiritual Significance
The enclave is one of the few known places of stable communion with an Ascendant Spirit—Aelrith, the Spirit of Mist. Urth-Kelai is thus considered the best place to practice and master Osia related to mist and fog.
Defense and Military
