Introduction:	''Cycle Without Break'' is a renowned Duranthi mural series located in the outer halls of Mar-Thal. Composed entirely from layered pigment-infused stone dust, the mural is etched into the surface of a basalt wall and spans over twenty-five feet in length. It is considered one of the most enduring artistic representations of the spiritual and geological continuity of [[Sanctuary Vale]].
Description:	The mural is non-figurative, focusing on layered shapes, spiral patterns, and embedded mineral textures that echo the structure of the valley. Its design draws heavily from geological surveys, representing the inner shape of the land as perceived through the lens of geological history. While commonly interpreted as a visual metaphor for Duranthi ancestry, the artwork does not depict any figures or narrative scenes. Instead, the layering of hues and etched waveforms suggests a continuous cycle of descent, stillness, and reemergence—mirroring the Duranthi philosophy of civic and spiritual rhythm.
Interpretation:	Lorewardens identify three distinct tonal regions within the mural, which some consider reflective of the founding, sealing, and renewal of Sanctuary Vale.
